Printing Inks
Evaluate M-52 in the intended printing-ink vehicle and dispersion process. Confirm gloss, opacity, dispersion, abrasivity, color and print-film performance with the actual formulation and application method.

M-52 Titanium Dioxide for Printing Inks and Coatings Evaluation
A sulfate-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment documented for printing inks, can coatings and high-gloss interior architectural coatings.
The current M-52 product profile identifies very high gloss, high opacity, excellent dispersion and low abrasivity as evaluation directions for printing ink and selected coating applications. Review the typical product data below and confirm suitability through testing in your own formulation, dispersion process, application and end-use conditions.
Where M-52 Fits in Product Evaluation
M-52 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment produced by the sulfate process and documented for the printing ink industry and selected coating applications.
Use M-52 as an evaluation candidate when gloss, opacity, dispersion and abrasivity are relevant to the project. Final Grade selection should account for the complete formulation, binder or vehicle, dispersion process, pigment loading, substrate, application method, curing conditions, service environment and destination-document needs.

Printing Ink and Coating Directions to Evaluate
Review each documented direction in your own formulation, processing and application conditions.
Can Coatings
Review M-52 in can-coating formulation testing using the intended binder, substrate, application and curing conditions. Confirm gloss, opacity, dispersion, film appearance and required end-use performance.
High-Gloss Interior Architectural Coatings
Include M-52 in high-gloss interior architectural coating evaluation. Confirm optical targets, dispersion, finished-film appearance, formulation compatibility and service performance under the intended interior conditions.
What to Evaluate in Your Formulation
Use the documented M-52 profile and typical data to frame buyer testing.
Optical and Film Review
- Gloss target in the complete ink or coating formulation
- Opacity at the intended pigment loading and film thickness
- Dispersion behavior in the selected vehicle, binder and process
- Color and finished-film appearance under the actual application conditions
Processing and Qualification Review
- Abrasivity direction in the intended dispersion, printing or application equipment
- Compatibility with the full formulation and additive package
- Printing-ink, can-coating or interior architectural conditions, as applicable
- Substrate, application method, curing, destination requirements and sample-validation results
These evaluation priorities identify what to check during buyer testing. They do not guarantee a fixed result in every formulation, process or service environment.
