PRODUCT POSITIONING
M-108 is an alumina-treated rutile titanium dioxide pigment made by the sulfate process for plastics and masterbatch evaluation. Use M-108 as a candidate when thermal stability, opacity, whiteness, dispersion and processing compatibility are relevant. Final selection should account for the polymer, carrier resin, additives and antioxidants, pigment loading, processing temperature, equipment, film or compound requirements and destination documents.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Review each documented direction in your own polymer system, processing and end-use conditions.
Evaluate M-108 at the intended pigment loading and carrier-resin system. Confirm dispersion, color, processing behavior, antioxidant interaction and downstream dilution performance.
Review M-108 in the intended polyolefin or PVC film formulation and production line. Confirm dispersion, opacity, whiteness, film appearance, processing stability and melt-flow behavior.
Include M-108 in testing where processing or end-use qualification requires the documented high-thermal-stability direction. Confirm the result at the actual temperature, residence time, formulation and equipment conditions.
FORMULATION EVALUATION
Use the documented M-108 profile and technical data to frame buyer testing.
These evaluation priorities identify what to check during buyer testing. They do not guarantee a fixed result in every polymer, process or end-use environment.
