HITOX
(Titanium Dioxide)
Warm, Vibrant colors come alive with HITOX natural-colored
TiO2. Originally developed by the Hitox Corporation
as an economical formulating alternative to white
titanium dioxide, improvements to HITOX now allow
replacement of other pigments as well. In addition
to white TiO2, HITOX may replace phthalo blues and
greens, hansa yellows, organic oranges, synthetic
iron oxides, and carbon black (in whole or in part,
depending on formulation) and give you the same bright
colors you have now. That means you can save on your
total pigment cost without sacrificing opacity, consistency
or color.
Coatings applications for HITOX encompass alkyds,
acrylic urethanes, high solids systems, water reducibles,
water bases, and powder coatings. Plastics uses include
PVC pipe and conduit, color concentrates, and vinyl
siding. HITOX also finds uses in inks, adhesives,
paper, foundry products, and building materials.
