SEMITI 826D vs Tronox CR-826
SEMITI 826D matches Tronox CR-826's industry-leading chalking resistance for coil coatings and outdoor industrial paint.
Tronox CR-826 is the global reference for high-durability outdoor coatings — particularly coil-coated cladding (PVDF, polyester), heavy-duty industrial topcoats, and premium architectural facade systems. SEMITI 826D is the direct functional alternative, with matched heavy alumina + silica + organic surface treatment architecture.
