A100 is a pigment based on the anatase form of titanium dioxide, produced using the sulfate process. It features high whiteness, mild hiding power, excellent dispersibility, and a neutral shade. It is ideal for applications where extreme lightfastness is not required but visual properties, color purity, and uniform distribution are important.
