SP (RSP) Blue Tone

In the context of masterbatch, a product shiner is typically a compound or additive used in the plastic industry to enhance the finish and appearance of plastic products. Masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments, additives, or other materials that are added to plastics during manufacturing to achieve specific properties.

A "shiner" or "polishing agent" in this case would be an additive that helps improve the surface finish of the plastic, making it shinier or smoother. It could be used in products like plastic films, packaging, or automotive parts to give them a glossy or high-quality finish.

SP Optical Brightener

An Optical Brightener (also known as a fluorescent brightener or optical brightening agent, OBA) is a chemical compound used to enhance the appearance of white and bright colors by absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light. This makes materials appear brighter and whiter to the human eye, even under low-light conditions.

SP (TR) Titanium Dioxide

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium. It is widely used in a variety of industries due to its properties such as being a highly effective white pigment, UV absorber, and its ability to provide opacity.

Uses

Pigment: Titanium Dioxide is primarily used as a white pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, paper, and cosmetics because of its brightness and high refractive index.

Sunscreen: TiO₂ is used in sunscreens for its ability to block ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Food Additive: It is used as a food coloring agent (E171) to provide a white color to food products like candy, icing, and dairy products, although its safety is under scrutiny in some countries.

Cosmetics: Found in products like foundation, toothpaste, and other personal care items due to its opacity and UV protection properties.

Photocatalyst: Titanium Dioxide can be used in photocatalytic applications, like air and water purification, as it can break down pollutants when exposed to light.
