CRISTAL 128

CRISTAL 128

　Cristal 128 is a grade of rutile pigment produced by the chloride process and is modified with Alumina and Zironia. It is a universal grade of Titanium dioxide, which has been designed for the broadest range of applications, combining excellent optical properties with good durability.

   Cristal 128 is characterized by exceptionally high gloss, ease of dispersion, excellent opacity, high tine strength, an exceptionally clean tint tone and good weathering performance.

   Cristal 128 is recommended for all classes of coatings including architectural, industrial, maintenance, solvent and water based. It can be used in both interior and exterior applications. It can also be readily used in powder coatings, where the optical performance is of prime importance.

　First Aid Measures

　　Inhalation

Remove to fresh air.

　  Eye

Flush with large amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

　　Skin

 Wash with water and mild soap.

　　Ingestion

No adverse health effects during the course of normal industrial handling. If large quantities ingested, seek medical attention.

　Fire Fighting Methods
