PRODUCT POSITIONING
M-896 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment produced by the chloride process. Its documented product profile combines alumina and silica inorganic coating with organic treatment and a coatings-focused application range. Use M-896 as a candidate for formulation testing when your project involves industrial or weather-resistant coating systems. 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-896 in the buyer's water-based or solvent-based industrial coating formulation. Confirm dispersion, appearance, compatibility and finished-film performance under the intended application conditions.
Review M-896 in coil-coating systems using the actual resin system, application process, curing conditions and performance requirements for the project.
Include M-896 in testing for protective and marine coating formulations where weather resistance, dispersion and finished-film properties are part of the evaluation target.
Evaluate color direction, gloss, opacity, tint strength, dispersion and final coating performance in the complete automotive OEM or refinish system.
Test M-896 in the intended exterior powder-coating formulation and processing conditions, including the coating's appearance and service-performance requirements.
Review M-896 for architectural coating formulations intended for exterior exposure. Confirm the required appearance and weather-resistance performance through formulation and application testing.
FORMULATION EVALUATION
Use the documented M-896 product 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
