The Chemours Company, a chemistry company with market-leading positions in Thermal & Specialized Solutions, Titanium Technologies, and Advanced Performance Materials, announced the introduction of Ti-PureTM TS-1510, a highly efficient rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment designed to improve processing performance in various plastics applications, including polyolefin masterbatch.
The increased processing performance of this grade offers up to a 6%* reduction in the net carbon footprint of the advanced pigment manufacturing process through masterbatch production, compared to conventional TiO2 pigments, while simultaneously increasing profits. Ti-PureTM TS-1510 is the most recent pigment launch under the company's Ti-PureTM Sustainability (TS) line, a new product family highlighting Chemours' dedication to furthering societal, consumer, and business segment sustainability goals.
Ti-PureTM TS-1510 was created to overcome customer difficulties and enhance their production rate and processing capabilities. Chemours developed a revolutionary technology to create this pigment with increased material bulk density in order to address these difficulties while simultaneously increasing profits and masterbatch processability.
The higher level of processing efficiency provided by Ti-PureTM TS-1510 will enable Chemours' direct and downstream customers to decrease their individual environmental footprints and enhance the plastics industry's sustainability. Ti-PureTM TS-1510 offers energy and labor efficiencies for masterbatch producers, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint than conventional TiO2 pigment. In addition, Chemours delivers Ti-PureTM TS-1510 in recyclable or reusable packaging to further increase the product's sustainability.
Cherie Stancik, Product Development Manager, Plastics Segment – Titanium Technologies at Chemours, said, “At Chemours, our customers’ needs drive our approach to innovation. The introduction of Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 reflects our commitment to developing new products that advance the state of the industries we serve.”
