COATINGS · SULFATE PROCESS
M-2196 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment made by the sulfate process, with zirconia/alumina inorganic surface treatment and organic surface treatment, for solvent-based furniture- and industrial-paint evaluation. Its current technical profile identifies gloss, whiteness with a blue undertone, and wetting and dispersing behavior as priorities for buyer testing. Review the typical data and confirm suitability in your own binder, solvent package, formulation, application, drying or cure, and end-use conditions.

PRODUCT POSITIONING
M-2196 is a sulfate-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment with zirconia/alumina and organic surface treatment for solvent-based furniture- and industrial-paint evaluation. Use M-2196 as a candidate when gloss, whiteness, undertone, wetting and dispersing behavior are relevant to the intended coating system. Final selection should account for binder and solvent system, pigment loading, additives, dispersion process, substrate, film build, application, drying or cure conditions, appearance and destination documents.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Review each documented direction in your own binder, solvent package, formulation, application, drying or cure, and end-use conditions.
Evaluate M-2196 in the intended resin and solvent system, pigment loading, additives, dispersion process, substrate, application and drying or cure conditions. Confirm gloss, whiteness, undertone, wetting, dispersion and finished appearance.
Test M-2196 in the selected industrial coating formulation, substrate preparation, film build, application and drying or cure conditions. Confirm gloss, whiteness, dispersion, coverage and finished-film performance for the intended end use.
FORMULATION EVALUATION
Use the documented M-2196 profile and typical data to frame buyer testing.
These evaluation priorities identify what to check during buyer testing. They do not guarantee fixed results.
