Interior Architectural Coatings
Evaluate M-895 in the intended interior architectural coating formulation. Confirm dispersion, opacity, gloss, color direction, compatibility and finished-film appearance under the actual application conditions.
COATINGS · CHLORIDE PROCESS
A chloride-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment documented for interior and exterior architectural coatings and industrial coatings. M-895 combines alumina and zirconia inorganic coating with organic treatment. Its current technical data identifies dispersion, opacity, gloss, a bright blue-toned white and weather resistance as key evaluation directions. Review the typical product data below and confirm suitability through testing in your own formulation, processing and application conditions.

PRODUCT POSITIONING
M-895 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment manufactured by the chloride process for coatings evaluation. Its documented product profile combines alumina and zirconia inorganic coating with organic treatment and a focused application range covering interior architectural, exterior architectural and industrial coatings. Use M-895 as a candidate for formulation testing when dispersion, opacity, gloss, color direction and weather-resistance targets are relevant. Final Grade selection should account for the complete formulation, dispersion process, substrate, application method, service conditions and destination-document requirements.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Review each documented direction in the buyer's own formulation, processing and application conditions.
Evaluate M-895 in the intended interior architectural coating formulation. Confirm dispersion, opacity, gloss, color direction, compatibility and finished-film appearance under the actual application conditions.
Review M-895 in exterior architectural coating systems where weather resistance and appearance are part of the qualification target. Confirm performance in the complete formulation and intended exposure conditions.
Include M-895 in industrial coating formulation testing when dispersion, opacity, gloss, color direction and weather resistance are relevant to the project. Validate the result with the actual binder, substrate, application and curing process.
FORMULATION EVALUATION
Use the documented M-895 profile and typical data to frame buyer testing.
These evaluation priorities identify what to check during buyer testing. They do not guarantee a fixed result in every formulation, process or service environment.
CURRENT PRODUCT DATA
Review the values reproduced from the current M-895 Technical Data Sheet as an input to formulation evaluation.
