Description
Rutile Titanium Dioxide–Coated Mica Micron Powder
Mica (KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂) coated with Rutile TiO₂, -200 mesh
Rutile Titanium Dioxide–Coated Mica Micron Powder is a high-performance silver-toned effect pigment produced by coating natural mica platelets with rutile-phase titanium dioxide. The pigment generates a metallic and pearlescent appearance through light reflection and interference at the surface, rather than through the use of dyes or metallic additives.
With a particle size of -200 mesh, the product offers excellent dispersion across a wide range of binder systems, delivering a balanced, bright, and depth-enhancing silver effect on coated surfaces. Its chemically inert structure, combined with high thermal resistance and UV stability, ensures long-term performance in both interior and exterior applications.
This product is not an opaque titanium dioxide pigment; it is a mica-based decorative and functional effect pigment designed for aesthetic surface enhancement.
