M-340 Titanium Dioxide for Plastics and Masterbatch Evaluation
A chloride-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment documented for high-concentration masterbatch, films, injection plastics and other plastics evaluation. M-340 uses inorganic and organic treatment and is documented with dispersibility, bluish undertone, whiteness, high-temperature anti-yellowing and stable film-production directions. Review the technical index below and confirm suitability through testing in your own formulation, processing and end-use conditions.

PRODUCT POSITIONING
Where M-340 Fits in Product Evaluation
M-340 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment produced by the chloride process for plastics evaluation. Its documented public profile combines inorganic and organic treatment with approved application directions in high-concentration masterbatch, films, silk and wire plastics, injection plastics and moderate-durability plastics. Use M-340 as a candidate when dispersion, color direction, whiteness, heat exposure and production stability are relevant. Final Grade selection should account for resin, additive package, pigment loading, processing temperature, equipment, end-use conditions and destination-document requirements.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Plastics and Masterbatch Directions to Evaluate
Review each documented direction in the buyer's own formulation, processing and end-use conditions.
High-Quality Films
Review M-340 in the intended film formulation and production line. Confirm dispersion, film appearance, processing stability and performance at the required thickness and operating conditions.
Silk and Wire Plastics
Include M-340 in testing for the source-listed silk and wire plastics direction. Confirm pigment dispersion, processing behavior, appearance and suitability in the buyer’s specific polymer and production process.
Injection Plastics
Evaluate M-340 in injection-moulded plastic formulations using the actual resin, additives, pigment loading, processing temperature and moulding conditions.
Moderate-Durability Plastics
Review M-340 for plastic applications whose qualification target includes the source-listed moderate-durability direction. Confirm the required service performance through end-use testing.
PROCESSING EVALUATION
What to Evaluate in Your Plastics Formulation
Use the documented M-340 profile and technical index to frame buyer testing.
Dispersion and Appearance Review
- Dispersibility at the intended pigment loading and mixing conditions
- Bluish-undertone direction in the complete formulation
- Whiteness and brightness targets
- Film appearance and production stability where film processing applies
Heat and End-Use Qualification
- High-temperature anti-yellowing direction at the intended processing temperature
- Compatibility with the selected resin and additive package
- Masterbatch, film, injection or wire/silk plastics processing conditions, as applicable
- End-use durability target, destination requirements and sample-validation results
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.
