M-996 Titanium Dioxide for Industrial, Powder and Architectural Coatings
M-996 is a zirconia- and alumina-treated rutile titanium dioxide pigment produced by the sulfate process for industrial, powder, and exterior or interior architectural-coatings evaluation.
Its technical profile identifies durability, opacity, brightness and dispersibility as priorities for buyer testing. Review the typical data and confirm suitability in your own binder, formulation, application, cure, exposure and end-use conditions.
Where M-996 Fits in Coatings Evaluation
M-996 is a sulfate-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment with zirconia and alumina treatment for industrial, powder and architectural-coatings evaluation.
Use M-996 as a candidate when durability, opacity, brightness and dispersibility are relevant to the intended coating system. Final selection should account for binder, pigment loading, additives, dispersion process, substrate, film build, cure conditions, appearance, exposure and destination documents.

Coatings Directions to Evaluate
Review each documented direction in your own binder, formulation, application, cure, exposure and end-use conditions.
Powder Coatings
Test M-996 in the selected resin, additives, extrusion, grinding, application and cure conditions. Confirm dispersion, opacity, brightness, film appearance and performance after cure.
External and Internal Architectural Coatings
Review M-996 in the intended architectural-coating formulation and exposure context. Confirm opacity, brightness, dispersion, durability requirements and finished-film performance.
What to Evaluate in Your Coating System
Use the documented M-996 profile and typical data to frame buyer testing.
Optical and Dispersion Review
- Opacity at the intended pigment loading and film build
- Brightness in the complete formulation
- Dispersibility with the selected binder and process
- Finished appearance after application and cure
Durability and Qualification Review
- Durability under the intended exposure conditions
- Binder, additives, substrate and application method
- Powder-processing or liquid-coating cure conditions as applicable
- Destination needs, document scope and sample-validation results
These evaluation priorities identify what to check during buyer testing. They do not guarantee fixed results.
