Chemical Supplier for India's Paint & Ink Industry

Paint and printing ink manufacturers depend on high-purity, consistent-quality raw materials to produce products that meet performance and colour standards. From the opacity and UV resistance of exterior paints to the gloss and adhesion of printing inks — the quality of chemical inputs is everything. Raj Traders supplies key raw materials to paint and ink manufacturers across India, with consistent batch quality and bulk availability.

Industry Overview

India’s paint industry — spanning architectural, industrial, and automotive coatings — is one of the fastest-growing in Asia. The printing ink segment serves packaging, publishing, and commercial printing industries. Both rely on specialty chemical inputs including white pigments (TiO2), binders, resins, and solvents. Raj Traders focuses on the core pigment and resin inputs that form the backbone of paint and ink formulations.

Key Challenges Faced by This Industry

TiO2 purity and consistency — pigment performance is directly tied to TiO2 particle size and coating
Grade selection complexity — Rutile vs Anatase decisions affect product performance significantly
Resin compatibility — petroleum resin must be compatible with the specific ink or coating system
Batch-to-batch consistency — colour and opacity must be reproducible across production runs
Bulk procurement economics — raw material cost is the largest variable in paint and ink margin

How Raj Traders Helps

We supply both Rutile and Anatase TiO2 grades with verified specifications, allowing paint manufacturers to source the right grade for each product line. Our Petroleum Resin (Petrez) is consistently graded with controlled softening point — critical for ink viscosity and adhesion performance. Bulk availability and competitive pricing help manufacturers manage input costs effectively.

FAQ

Rutile grade TiO2 is recommended for exterior applications. It has a higher refractive index, better UV resistance, and greater durability than Anatase — essential for exterior paint performance. Anatase is more suited to interior paints and paper coatings.

We stock grades with softening points in the 90°C–110°C range, which are suitable for most offset and letterpress ink formulations. Please specify your required softening point and ink system when enquiring.
