1. Rutile vs. Anatase Crystal Form
While Titanium Dioxide occurs in both Anatase and Rutile crystalline modifications, Rutile TiO₂ is preferred in industrial masterbatch compounding because of its higher refractive index, superior photo-stability, and greater resistance to outdoor weathering.
2. Critical Importance in Packaging Films
In flexible packaging applications such as milk pouches, edible oil films, and lamination substrates, high opacity is necessary to shield light-sensitive nutrients from photodegradation. White masterbatch formulated with pure Rutile TiO₂ ensures uniform opacity even at low let-down ratios.
3. Dedicated Compounding Lines
Because white masterbatch is sensitive to trace contamination, Barjatya Polychem operates dedicated separate compounding lines specifically for White Masterbatches, ensuring pristine brightness and zero cross-colour specks.
