Detailed Description:
DuPont 104 is produced using the chloride process, which ensures a high-purity rutile crystal structure with outstanding optical properties. The pigment is surface-treated with a unique combination of alumina and silica to provide excellent weather resistance, improved gloss retention, and outstanding dispersion in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Its high refractive index delivers maximum opacity and tinting strength, making it an ideal choice for plastics, rigid PVC profiles, and coatings requiring superior whiteness and long-term stability.
