Readymix Pigments

Readymix pigments commonly refer to pre-weighed, easy-to-use colorant formulations such as masterbatches, dry color powders, and liquid colorants/pastes. These products are added directly to the raw polymer during manufacturing to impart color and other functional properties to the final plastic product.

ReadyMix Pigments

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is one of the most important white pigments used in plastics, offering superior whiteness, brightness, and opacity. It improves weather resistance, heat stability, and structural strength — making it indispensable for many high-performance plastic applications.

Types and Forms

Rutile and Anatase: TiO₂ pigments are available in two crystal forms — rutile and anatase. Rutile is preferred for most plastic applications as it scatters light more efficiently and offers better stability.

Surface Treatments: Commercial grades often include inorganic or organic coatings to improve dispersibility, enhance weatherability, and reduce photocatalytic activity for sensitive applications.

Applications and Usage

Plastic products including packaging, consumer goods, and outdoor materials.
Widely used in Polyolefins, Polystyrene, ABS, and PVC.
Often incorporated into masterbatches for uniform dispersion and easy dosing during processing.
Grades chosen based on required opacity, tinting strength, heat stability, and end-use weathering performance.

Processing & Compatibility

Select TiO₂ grades matched to polymer chemistry and processing temperatures. Typical considerations:

Dispersion method (masterbatch vs. dry addition)
Surface treatment to avoid photocatalytic degradation in polymers
Heat stability for high-temperature processing
