This chart shows the four typical areas into which TIOXIDE® pigment grades of differing durability fall. Super durable titanium dioxide grades like DELTIO™81X pigment have excellent resistance to weathering (gloss loss & colour fading), as they are designed to minimise the photocatalytic activity of the TiO2.

deltio™81X pigment offers a winning combination of excellent durability, whiteness & gloss, and delivers added value to customers through its ease of powder handling. deltio™81X pigment offers you the opportunity to radically improve your manufacturing processes without compromising application performance.
“safety, health & the environmentAs for all powders, the handling of titanium dioxide pigments can give rise to airborne dust. Good industrial hygiene practice should be observed so as to avoid the generation and subsequent inhalation of dust. For more information refer to our material safety data sheet.
food contactThe subject is too wide to be adequately covered in a technical data sheet and customers should seek confirmation of compliance for each of the particular regulations in which they are interested by contacting Huntsman Pigments Group Marketing personnel or the local sales forces.
storage & shelf lifeThe pigment should not be stored in outside areas exposed to the weather. All direct contact with moisture should be avoided. By storing the pigment correctly, its properties should not deteriorate with time. However to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that the product is used on a first in, first out basis from receipt of shipment.
