For paints
PRETIOX titanium dioxide for paints and coating materials has an optimal size and a very narrow particle distribution, a high colouring power and a neutral or bluish undertone. The high degree of light dispersion produced by the pigment particles and their inferred ability to reflect light intensely (especially in the visible part of the spectrum) offers many advantages within current applications. With regard to their optical parameters, the homogeneous nature of the various micronized rutile products allows their application in a variety of toning systems. The efficient surface treatment minimizes flocculation in coating systems, promoting easy mixing and a good level of stability in the relevant application.
PRETIOX titanium dioxide conforms to hygienic norms regulating the use of materials that come into contact with foodstuffs and EU requirements for safety of toys.
PRETIOX grades for paints:
For paper
PRETIOX titanium dioxide for paper manufacturing possesses outstanding dispersibility within an aqueous environment. Optimum particle size and a narrow distribution curve allow a high degree of retention within paper pulp and excellent optical properties. PRETIOX titanium dioxide conforms to hygienic norms regulating the use of materials that come into contact with foodstuffs and EU requirements for safety of toys. PRETIOX AV01Z conforms to legislative requirements for cigarette filter manufacturing (E-171 quality).
For plastics
Titanium dioxide is one of the most frequently used pigments in the plastics industry as even a very low dosage does not only guarantee the required white or pastel shade of the final product but it can also provide sufficient protection of the plastic against destructive UV radiation. Variants of titanium dioxide PRETIOX suitable for plastics have differential particle size and alongside the various degree of inorganic surface treatment offer wide range of applications. PRETIOX titanium dioxide conforms to hygienic norms regulating the use of materials that come into contact with foodstuffs and EU requirements for safety of toys.

For construction
Titanium Dioxide PRETIOX is used in this sector primarily for its excellent colouring ability and tinting strength. Another praised quality is its dispersibility of PRETIOX in all applications within the construction industry. Construction material manufacturers traditionally demand a high degree of resistance to atmospheric conditions, light fastness and chemical resistance mainly in alkalic surroundings. The grades of PRETIOX titanium dioxide listed below conform to the strict requirements for applications in the construction industry defined by the harmonized standard ČSN EN 12878 to which they are certified.
For food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
PRETIOX titanium dioxide grades for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are exceptionally pure pigments. Their quality means these pigments have optimal optical properties which meet the highest hygiene standards for this special application.
These special grades offer a number of benefits:- A high standard of chemical and microbiological purity.
- Manufacturing and handling within the scope of a certified Quality Management System.
- Warranting all the legal requirements for foodstuffs, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals application.
UV absorbers
Photoactive grades
PRETIOX CG types are suitable for any photocatalytic application anywhere where it is necessary to improve self-cleaning properties of surfaces by decomposition of organic matter and pollutants, air and water treatment to remove problematic oxidizing substances and as a precursor for titanate manufacturing and catalytic applications.
