Common questions about TiO₂ Extenders in paints & coatings applications
LC Pigment acts as a nano-structured spacer that separates TiO₂ particles, preventing crowding and maximizing individual scattering efficiency. This allows 15–25% TiO₂ reduction without compromising opacity or whiteness in cured powder films.
Yes — LC Pigment grades are available for Polyester TGIC, Polyester HAA (Primid), Epoxy, Hybrid Epoxy-Polyester, and PU powder coating systems. Grade selection depends on the resin chemistry and curing agent used.
No. Post-application mechanical testing (Impact Resistance, Adhesion, Flexibility, Pencil Hardness, Film Build Uniformity) shows performance equivalent to standard TiO₂-only formulations, confirming that LC Pigment does not compromise film integrity.
By replacing 15–25% of TiO₂, which is one of the most expensive raw materials in powder coatings, LC Pigment delivers substantial formulation cost reduction while maintaining equivalent optical and mechanical performance.
LC Pigment is added during the dry-mixing / pre-blending stage like standard pigments, and disperses uniformly during twin-screw extrusion. Its nano-particle size promotes excellent dispersion at standard extrusion temperatures without requiring special processing conditions.
No — LC Pigment is engineered to maintain gloss retention. In Polyester TGIC high-gloss formulations, post-cure gloss measurements confirm equivalent or improved gloss uniformity compared to TiO₂-only reference formulations.
