Applications — UAE, Saudi Arabia & GCC

Premium Architectural Wall Paints UAE & Saudi Arabia

Chloride grade TiO2 is the standard white pigment in premium emulsion paints for UAE and Saudi Arabia residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. Its superior UV durability prevents chalking and grey discolouration under intense GCC solar radiation — critical for exterior paints exposed to UAE's UV Index 11+ summer conditions.

Industrial & Protective Coatings

Used in two-component epoxy and polyurethane topcoats for structural steel, pipelines, and industrial facilities across GCC. Chloride grade's improved particle size distribution delivers better gloss, higher hiding power per kilogram, and superior weathering vs sulphate grades.

Decorative & Architectural Coatings for Vision 2030 Projects

Saudi Arabia's mega-projects — NEOM, Red Sea, Diriyah, Qiddiya — specify premium coating raw materials meeting SASO and international quality benchmarks. Chloride grade TiO2 meets and exceeds these specifications with full documentation.

Masterbatch & Plastics

Premium opacity and brightness for white and light-coloured plastic masterbatch, PVC, and polymer compounds used across GCC manufacturing.

Powder Coatings

Excellent heat stability (up to 300°C) and consistent brightness in thermoset powder coatings for architectural aluminium, steel furniture, and industrial components.

Printing Inks & Packaging

Used in white printing inks and packaging coatings for the UAE and Saudi Arabia FMCG and food packaging industry.

Usage & Recommendations

Typical loading in architectural paint: 15–25% by weight. Higher loading above 25% causes PVC (pigment volume concentration) to exceed critical PVC — reducing gloss and barrier properties. Disperse thoroughly using high-speed disperser or bead mill — achieve full deagglomeration before letdown. Use adequate dispersant (polymeric or anionic type) at 0.5–2.0% on TiO2 weight. For SASO-compliant Saudi Arabia architectural paints, TiO2 content in formulation should comply with GSO 1914 minimum opacity requirements. Contact Raykem for formulation guidance.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in original sealed bags in a cool, dry warehouse (< 25°C, < 60% RH). TiO2 is non-hazardous but moisture can cause caking — keep sealed. No defined shelf life when stored correctly. Maintain FIFO stock rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The chloride process reacts titanium ore with chlorine gas at high temperature to produce highly pure TiCl₄, which is then oxidised to TiO2. This produces a more uniform particle size distribution, higher purity, better brightness, superior UV resistance, and lower environmental impact vs the sulphate process. Sulphate grade TiO2 is produced by digesting titanium ore with sulphuric acid — it is lower cost and still widely used in standard paints, paper, and plastics, but has lower whiteness, more variable particle morphology, and slightly less durability under UV exposure. For GCC exterior architectural applications and industrial specifications requiring maximum performance, chloride grade is the standard choice.

Raykem's Chloride Grade TiO2 is equivalent in performance to established global brands including: DuPont/Chemours Ti-Pure R-902+, Huntsman TR-92, Tronox CR-826/CR-828, Kronos 2190, and Cristal 121 (National Titanium Dioxide Company, Saudi Arabia). All are chloride process, Al/Zr surface-treated rutile grades optimised for paint applications. Contact Raykem for COA comparison data.
