R2196 Rutile Titanium Dioxide (CAS 13463-67-7) from Hebei: high-gloss pigment that quietly outperforms

If you’ve been chasing a bright, clean white that doesn’t fight your dispersion line, take a look at [china 13463-67-7]. This is the R2196 rutile grade produced in Jindi Industrial Park, Dacheng County, Langfang City, Hebei Province—known for its stable batches and, frankly, the kind of gloss you notice the second the panel dries. Many customers say it “lifts” whites and pastels in coatings and masterbatch without overworking the mill. I’ve seen that, too.

Industry trends (quick take)

• Shift to higher-gloss rutile grades for waterborne architectural paints and low-VOC inks.
• Surface-treated TiO2 with zirconia/silica for better weatherability in plastics and coil coatings.
• Stricter compliance (REACH, RoHS) and tighter whiteness tolerances for global exports.

What R2196 is built to do

The grade behind china 13463-67-7 is a rutile titanium dioxide engineered for high gloss, high whiteness, and fast dispersion. It slots neatly into:

• Architectural and industrial coatings (interior/exterior, high-hiding primers, enamels)
• Printing inks (water- and solvent-based; packaging whites)
• Plastics and masterbatch (PP/PE/PS, PVC profiles, film where UV resistance matters)

Technical specs (typical, real-world use may vary)

Process flow (typical for this origin)

Materials: ilmenite feedstock → sulfate route → hydrolysis → calcination (rutile) → micronization → inorganic surface coating (SiO2/Al2O3/ZrO2) → organic treatment → finishing and QC. Methods include controlled crystal growth to tighten PSD; dispersion testing per ASTM D1210; hiding power by ASTM D2805. Exterior service life in coatings is commonly 7–10 years with proper resin/UV package; in plastics, UV-stabilized formulations extend beyond 5 years outdoors—your mileage depends on stabilizer load and color.

Vendor comparison (field-notes style)

To be honest, R2196 sits in a sweet spot: premium-looking gloss without imported wait times or pricing drama.

Customization and QC

• Surface-treatment tuning (SiO2:ZrO2 ratio) for exterior plastics vs. interior inks
• Moisture and organic treatment adjustments for waterborne systems
• Batch COA, ISO 9001/14001 plant systems, REACH/RoHS statements on request

Case studies (short)

• Waterborne wall paint in Guangdong: ΔE drift cut by ≈30% across 6 months; line speed unchanged.
• PP masterbatch for outdoor furniture: retained gloss after 1,000 h QUV per ISO 16474-3, minimal chalking.

Compliance, testing, and documents

Compliant with ISO 591-1 rutile classification; typical testing per ASTM D476, ISO 2813 (gloss), ASTM D2805 (hiding). REACH and RoHS documentation available; heavy metals below thresholds per GB/T 3186 sampling/GB standards, based on supplier COA. It seems routine—but it matters for exports.
