Common questions

Are SEMITI 996 (LB Group) and Pangang PR-706 drop-in equivalents in coatings and plastics?+
Both are tier-1 Chinese chloride rutile grades with REACH registration and are technically equivalent for the vast majority of coatings and plastics applications.

Comparable pricing — typically within 3–5% of each other at FCL volumes. LB Group's larger production scale (1.5M t/year vs Pangang's 0.25M t/year) gives SEMITI 996 more supply flexibility and volume availability, which can translate to better pricing stability at high volumes.
When should I choose Pangang PR-706 over SEMITI 996?+
Choose Pangang PR-706 when you have a specific Pangang supply relationship, when Panzhihua mining-region sourcing is a preference, or when your buyer specifically values Pangang's mining-integrated supply chain.
