Now the world’s 3rd largest producer of high performance TiO2 pigments
LOMON® LR-108
LOMON® LR-108 pigment is an alumina treated rutile titanium dioxide pigment made by the sulfate process. It is specially designed for masterbatch and compounding applications.
LOMON®LR-108 pigment disperses easily in polyolefins, with minimal effect on melt flow index, so that even masterbatch with high TiO2 concentration can produce film with high opacity and whiteness.
LOMON®LR-108 pigment is recommended for plastics applications that require high thermal stability. It is designed with a hydrophobic surface that acts as a barrier to help prevent the pigment from absorbing moisture from the air.
