Achromatic power, also known as tinting power, usually it named tinting strength for pigment, achromatic force for tio2.
The small particle size of tio2 is conducive to uniform dispersion (0.05-0.1) and improving the color-reducing power; however, if the particle size is too small, the transparency will increase, hiding power decreases, and the achromatic power decreases.
Influenced by:
1. IF the particle size of the filler is larger than that of titanium dioxide, tio2 reducing power decreases as per the filler quantity increases ;
However, if the particle size of the filler is smaller than that of titanium white, tio2 reducing power tends to increase as per the increasing of the filler amount .
2. The platy filler is more conducive to dispersion, so adding the same amount of flaky filler (talc powder, kaolin) , leading to a better dispersibility and better achromatic power than the spherical titanium dioxide with the same amount of particles.
