SEMITI A200 vs Ishihara TIPAQUE A-100
SEMITI A200 matches Ishihara TIPAQUE A-100's soft-crystal characteristics for rubber and fiber applications.
Ishihara TIPAQUE A-100 is the Japanese-origin reference anatase for rubber and fiber applications. SEMITI A200 is the direct alternative — same soft crystal hardness, similar particle size distribution, and clean melt rheology for high-draw fiber spinning.
