Titanium dioxide reduced in volatile water content, process for producing the same, and masterbatch containing the same

摘要

Titanium dioxide powder with a greatly decreased volatile moisture content can be obtained by surface treating with titanium dioxide powder with addition of a calcium salt and/or a silane coupling agent, or by a surface treatment by addition of an aluminate together with these surface treatments. A masterbatch containing this titanium dioxide powder is of high quality, having no defect due to foam generation upon high temperature processing.
