TiO2 for Powder Coating Manufacturers

Powder coatings demand thermal stability for twin-screw extrusion + 200°C cure. Chloride rutile (SEMITI 706, 826D) is essential.

Typical volume
200–1500 t/year per powder coater
Qualification cycle
8–12 weeks

Business context

Powder coating manufacturers — IGP Powder Coatings, Tiger Drylac, Sherwin-Williams Powder, Akzo Nobel Powder — produce solid coatings applied as dry powder and cured by heat. The TiO2 must survive 100–130°C extrusion + 180–200°C cure without yellowing.

Procurement challenges

  • 01Thermal stability during extrusion and cure
  • 02Color batch consistency (color drift in colored powders)
  • 03Modern TGIC-free polyester system compatibility
  • 04Architectural durability for AAMA 2603/2604/2605 specifications

What SEMITI brings

SEMITI 706 for premium architectural/appliance powder. SEMITI 826D for high-durability outdoor service. SEMITI 902 for interior/economy applications. All chloride rutile — thermal stability validated.

Common questions

Why is sulfate rutile not used in powder coatings?+
Sulfate rutile typically has slightly higher metallic impurity that causes visible yellowing at 200°C cure. Premium powder demands chloride. Acceptable for economy interior powder but not architectural/appliance grades.

Pair with matting agent for powder coating manufacturers

TiO2 provides hiding power; silica matting agent provides gloss control. Both products are typically required in the same matte/eggshell formulation. Our sister brand GMATT (matting-agents.com) supplies the matched silica matting agent.
