Ire a t hiding power has already been men- ned as an outstanding distinguishing char- eristic. Chemical stability and inertness is other. Titanium oxide will not react with ong hydrochloric and nitric acids. Hydro- oric acid or hot concentrated sulphuric acid required for its solution and a fusion is essary in order to obtain a reaction with alies. Partly depending upon the above two proper- in which these pigments differ from other ite pigments and partly depending upon perties which they possess in common with ers, eight distinct qualities of titanium pig- nts should be mentioned. Distinctive Qualities 'irst: Titanium pigments are very high in ;city. The barium base pigment will hide n 40 to 120 per cent, more surface th an the _>r w hite pigments; the calcium base pig- lt will hide from 50 to 150 per cent, m ore; th e pure oxide from 350 to 600 per cent, e. Titanium pigments possess concentrated ing power to a far greater extent than was amed of a few years ago and this property ne has opened up many possibilities in nulation. econd: There is no danger of bodying, ring or after yellowing on account of any nical reaction into which titanium pig- its m ay enter. On the contrary, so f a r as r yellowing is concerned, titanium pig- 'ts in some cases appear actually to retard afte r yellowing of oleo-resinous vehicles. 3 effect has not been definitely explained it seems to be more than a simple masking he yellow color due to the high opacity of p igm ents. lird: Titanium pigments will w ithstand eme conditions of exposure without altera- or discoloration. At high baking tem pera- s th ere is no discoloration, decomposition reaction with vehicles. They are not ted by light. ourth: Titanium pigments may be the ct means of preventing checking, cracking scaling in outside paint films. They are 1 with entire satisfaction as the only pig- t for making inside paints with varnish 3 of vehicles, but for exterior paints made common vehicles they are alm ost always together with one or both of the older pig- ts, zinc oxide and white lead. It is well vn th a t linseed oil paints in which titanium nents are used alone chalk too rapidly on sure to outside conditions. The very inert acter of these pigments makes it advis- in order to obtain a sufficiently elastic to incorporate in outside linseed oil paints tain am ount of pigm ent which is slightly five w ith the vehicle. In this respect this quality might be considered a disadvan- but as a m atter of fact it is in reality a t advantage. The degree of chalking can ontrolled by using titanium pigm ents in >rtions to produce a film having a degree ardness such th at the chalking is only gradual and the painted surface even a long period of years rem ains in excel- condition for repainting. There is no er of ever having to apply a torch to an ior surface which has been protected by a ium paint, provided, of course, th a t enough ium w as used in the paint, th: Titanium pigments have a high light 'tive value. Magnesium carbonate and lesium oxide, universally accepted as the lard of highest brightness, have a light tive value of 98 per cent. T itanium pig- s have a light reflective value of about r cent. ;th: Titanium pigments are practically a al white. venth: On account of their excellent color, to tal brightness and great opacity, ium pigm ents produce clear color tones, from muddiness, when used as a tinting . . . . - v -------; - ^ m bhe the 'finest n f the w hite L kSc?-: Give your customers real satisfaction with high-lead-content paints . ..
