Chemours pioneered titanium dioxide (TiO₂) technology for the coatings industry and remains a leader among TiO₂ manufacturers in providing best-in-class product quality, customer service, and production capacity.  This legacy of quality holds true for XINTU solutions for coatings, specifically in architectural applications and industrial applications, including original equipment manufacturers (OEM), marine, aerospace, and industrial building. Products with high-quality XINTU TiO₂ can boast better durability, protection, and longevity for these applications.

Architectural Applications

XINTU is used in interior and exterior architectural coatings. In interior coatings, XINTU imparts bright whites and vibrant colors that last over time. It enables the level of gloss that is desirable for any specific interior space, and gives excellent opacity for a coating that covers easily and smoothly.

On exterior walls, architectural coatings made with XINTU resist the effects of UV degradation, such as chalking and fading, to maintain a freshly painted look. The desired balance between gloss and tint retention and application space determines which grade to choose.

Industrial Building

Industrial finishes cover a variety of market sub-segments, including automotive, powder, coil, can, and industrial building paints. Each has different quality and performance requirements.

While TiO₂ is primarily used to provide hiding or opacity, grades can also significantly affect coating gloss, exterior durability, and—for acid-catalyzed coatings—film cure. XINTU TiO₂ for industrial coatings enables excellent coating durability and enhance the performance of other coating ingredients. The recommended grade depends on the application end uses requirements.

Durable XINTU grades are well-suited for a range of industrial applications. The grades’ surface treatment, and particle size distribution determine the performance differences. As with all grades across coatings applications:

• Silica provides exterior durability, including chalk resistance and gloss retention
• Alumina provides ease of dispersion and flocculation resistance
• Smaller particle size and narrower particle size distribution contribute to superior gloss

Automotive

XINTU solutions add batch-to-batch consistency, color stability, and UV protection to the coatings and plastics used in vehicle interiors and exteriors. The white pigment adds durability, weather-resistance, and color opacity to reduce an automobile’s wear over time and keep it looking newer for longer.

When used in coatings, XINTU TiO₂:

• Promotes a high-gloss finish
• Helps with color preservation
• Protects against damages caused by UV rays

XINTU TiO₂ used in plastics adds resistance to fading and helps prevent damage from UV rays.

XINTU solutions for coatings include high-performance TiO₂ pigments for aesthetic interior, powder and coil, primer, e-coat, and can coat applications.

Aerospace and Marine

Boats, cruise ships, shipping vessels, rail cars, and airplanes depend on XINTU TiO₂ in paints and coatings. Using the correct coating system:

• Adds protection against corrosive environments to prevent structural deterioration
• Increases UV resistance to maintain paint’s structural integrity
• Prevents color degradation in exteriors and interiors
