The Chemours Company unveiled Ti-Pure™ TS-1510, a highly efficient rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment designed to enhance processing performance in plastics applications, including polyolefin masterbatch. The enhanced processing performance of this grade unlocks up to 6% lower net carbon footprint from the advanced pigment manufacturing process through masterbatch production when compared to traditional TiO2 pigments while improving profits. Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 is the latest pigment launch within the company's Ti-Pure™ Sustainability (TS) series, a new product family showcasing Chemours' commitment to advancing societal, customer, and business segment sustainability goals.

Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 was developed to address customer challenges and improve their production rate and processing. Chemours innovated a novel technology to produce this pigment with enhanced material bulk density to address these issues while improving profits and the processability of masterbatch. The Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 innovations provide a wide range of benefits to masterbatch producers: Up to 12.5% processing energy reduction for plastic processing, which provides cost savings through efficiencies in processing, enabling less energy use.

Improved line productivity enables up to a 30% increase in compounding; this allows for asset flexibility for increased production and sales or capital avoidance. Smaller package size due to higher bulk density means a 50% reduction in package height, reducing storage space and warehouse cost. Superior pigment properties provide easier and more complete unloading with faster feed rates.

Increased flowability drives efficiencies in energy and labor. Enhanced handling through low dusting leads to cleaner production areas, minimized pigment loss, and reduces dust collection system maintenance. Packaging designed for ease of recycling and reduced material usage.

The new level of processing efficiency enabled by Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 will help Chemours' direct and downstream customers reduce their environmental footprints individually and improve sustainability for the plastics industry. For masterbatch producers, Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 enables energy and labor efficiencies that lead to a lower carbon footprint than traditional TiO2 pigment. In addition, to further advance the product's sustainability, Chemours is delivering Ti-Pure™ TS-1510 in packages designed to be recycled or reused.
