Common questions
Can SEMITI 706 substitute Venator Tioxide premium grades in industrial durable coatings?+
Yes — both share Al₂O₃ + ZrO₂ + organic triple-layer surface treatment and matched QUV gloss retention (≥80% at 2000 hr). Standard premium-grade qualification cycle applies. SEMITI 706 also offers supply chain stability from a tier-1 Chinese producer, a key consideration given Venator's restructuring.
How does SEMITI 706 pricing compare to Venator Tioxide premium grades?+
Comparable pricing — both are premium durable coatings grades. SEMITI 706 may land marginally lower in Asian markets. The key advantage of SEMITI 706 is supply chain stability and access to the LB Group production base, not necessarily a dramatic price gap.
When should I keep using Venator Tioxide rather than switching to SEMITI 706?+
Keep Venator Tioxide when you have established customer relationships that specifically value the Venator/Huntsman brand heritage, or when your supply has not been disrupted. For buyers proactively diversifying supply away from Venator given restructuring uncertainty, SEMITI 706 is the matched-performance alternative with stable supply.
