TiO2 for Specialty Paper Mills
Specialty papers use 5–15% TiO2 — SEMITI A100 anatase is typically the cost-optimal choice.
Typical volume
200–3000 t/year
Qualification cycle
6–10 weeks
Business context
Specialty paper mills produce coated art paper, photographic paper, packaging board, lightweight coated paper for magazines and catalogs. TiO2 loading is moderate (5–15%) compared to decor.
Procurement challenges
- 01Moderate-loading opacity at controlled cost
- 02Brightness CIE WI > 85 for premium art paper
- 03Coating slip compatibility (with starch binder, latex binder)
- 04Slitter and calender roll wear
What SEMITI brings
SEMITI A100 universal anatase. SEMITI A101 for finest particle size in coated specialty paper. Both with low heavy metal content for food/pharma packaging compliance.
