KMML RC 822

KMML RC 822 is a rutile-type titanium dioxide pigment produced via the chloride process, widely used for high-gloss, durable interior and exterior coatings and paint applications. Featuring silica/alumina and organic treatment, it offers high tint retention, excellent scattering power, and ease of dispersion, commonly found in 25 kg bags.

Key Characteristics & Features: Grade: Rutile (Chloride Process). Usage: Ideal for exterior/interior enamels, industrial coatings, and architectural paints. Key Properties: High gloss and tint retention, superior durability, and easy dispersion in both solvent and water-based systems. Surface Treatment: Silica, alumina, and organic. Color: High whiteness and high opacity.

KEMOX RC 822 is silica – alumina and organic treated titanium dioxide pigment produced by the chloride process. It has the highest degree of gloss and tint retention properties in exterior film applications. It is characterized by an optical balance of high initial gloss, ease of dispersion, opacifying power and exterior weathering properties

Applications: KEMOX RC 822 is recommended for interior and exterior enamels and lacquers for industrial and architectural purposes.
