SEMITI 2310 vs Chemours Ti-Pure R-902

SEMITI 2310 is plastics-specific; Ti-Pure R-902 is universal coatings/plastics. For plastics-only buyers, SEMITI 2310 is the better fit.

Both grades work in plastic masterbatch. The key difference: SEMITI 2310 is specifically tuned for plastics (slightly lighter surface treatment optimized for extrusion); Ti-Pure R-902 is the universal grade also widely used in coatings. For plastics-only buyers, SEMITI 2310 has marginal performance advantage at lower cost.

Common questions

Can SEMITI 2310 substitute Ti-Pure R-902 in plastic masterbatch?+
Yes — both work in PE/PP/PVC/ABS masterbatch. SEMITI 2310 has a slight edge in extrusion behavior (plastics-specific tuning); R-902 is a universal grade. Direct substitution at the same loading; run a trial batch and measure thermal stability at 280°C and Δb*.
How much cheaper is SEMITI 2310 vs Ti-Pure R-902 for plastics use?+
Same cost dynamic as SEMITI 996 vs R-902 — typically 35% lower landed cost in Asian markets. SEMITI 2310 prices comparably to SEMITI 996, so the savings vs R-902 are identical regardless of which SEMITI plastics grade you choose.
Should I use SEMITI 2310 or SEMITI 996 to replace Ti-Pure R-902?+
Use SEMITI 2310 if your production is dedicated plastic masterbatch — it is tuned for extrusion. Use SEMITI 996 if you run both paint and plastics and want a single TiO2 grade across all applications. Both deliver the same cost advantage vs R-902.
