Dee of Ti-Pur^*' slurry grades generally provides hiding power equivalent to that obtained frco corresponding dry Ti-Pure grades, but gloss tty be different, depending on the vehicle system. Other important points to keep in mind: ill waterborne vehicle systems within a given polymer type are not equivalent, so Table ,X2b should be considered only a guide. Changing vehicles may affect biding power* gloss, and dispersibility more than changing pignente (among the Outdoor exposure information indicates that chaUc-resistaree of rutile grades in waterborne Industrial systems parallels that shown in trade sales or conventional eolventborne industrial vehicles.

We can take nfixlnurc advantage or this by remembering the following: 1. In Vinyl Systems j i j I | a) Ti-Pure R-900 offers the best corblnatlai of strength, flocculation resistance, and plasticizer or soft stock dispersibility In flexible vinyls. Ti-Pure P-900 is neutral in undertone. We currently do not have a blue undertone grade for flexible viryls except Ti-Pure R-101. It is less dispersible than R-900 In these nlnlnum shear systems. b) Tl-Pure R-101 and Tl-Pure R-100 are generally preferred In rigid systems, where a combination of high strength, good dry-blend dispersibility and know. weathering resistance are needed. c) Tl-Pure R-9C2 offers Improved dirablllty at little sacrifice in strength, and Tl-Pur^6 R-960 offers still better durability at j lower strength. Soth of these have good soft stock and < plasticizer dispersibility. 2. In Polystyrene. ABS. Polyolefin and Other Molding Systems a) Ti-PUre R-101 and Tl-Pure R-100 are Ideally suited for general * use because of their high strength and excellent dry-blend dispersibility. b) Tl-Pure R-902 and Ti-Pure R-960 offer excellent dirablllty and yellowing resistance, but with some sacrifice In strength and dry-blend dispersibility. They my also cause lacing in thin film extrusions. c) Tl-Pure R--99-4 offers outstanding color stability in melamine moldings and laminates. Promotion to HIastless accounts Is admittedly difficult because the definition of the "best" pigment depends largely on the customer's systems, uses, and requirements. Our best strategy is to learn hie needs and to premote the product with the best combination of properties to fLll them. DUP050070722 DUP050070723 DUP050070724 DUP050070725 DUP050070726 '`5* ' C* 1 ,i',A Mj DUP050070727 Mft HilllPlI iistii Ip*!1!
