White Pigment

FP Pigments are engineered composites of titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate that deliver strong opacity while helping reduce TiO₂ use by 10-50%, depending on the application.

Grades stocked 2

Refractive Index 1.85

TiO₂ Substitution 10–50%

Primary Applications Paints & Plastics

Grade & Table Specifications

The table below shows our two White Pigment grades, FP440 and FP550, both supplied as powder. Compare the specification and particle size figures to match fineness to your formulation.

Grade	Type	SiO₂ (%)	Particle size	Applications	Stocked In
FP440	powder	1.85	99.0	Paint & Coatings	DBN & CPT
FP550	powder	1.85	98.8	Plastics	#

technical highlights

Key Performance Benefits

High refractive index (1.85)

Unusually close to TiO₂ itself, meaning this extender contributes genuine opacity rather than acting as inert bulk filler.

TiO₂ substitution capability (10–50%)

Lets paint formulators reduce costly TiO₂ loading while maintaining hiding power, a direct cost saving.

Fine, controlled particle size

Consistent particle distribution (99.0%/98.8% passing spec) supports predictable dispersion and opacity contribution batch to batch.

Cross-application versatility

FP440 suited to Paint & Coatings and FP550 to Plastics, giving formulators both options from the same product family.
