Tinox Chemie GmbH exhibited at the American Coating Show 2024 titanium dioxide exhibition at Booth #2173, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.A., April 30 – May 2, 2024.

American Coating Show 2024 — Exhibition Overview

The American Coatings Show (ACS) is the largest coatings industry trade event in North America, held every two years at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Organised by the American Coatings Association (ACA) and Vincentz Network, the 2024 edition attracted over 10,000 industry professionals across more than 138,800 sq ft of exhibition space. The show runs concurrently with the American Coatings Conference — featuring nearly 90 technical sessions under the theme “Innovations in Coatings Technology: Shaping Our Future” — making it the premier platform for innovation, sourcing and technical advancement across the North American paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants and construction chemicals sectors.

Opening hours: April 30 – May 2, 2024, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily  |  Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46225, USA.

TINOX® TiO₂ Grades for the North American Coatings Market

The North American coatings market is shaped by strict EPA VOC regulations, a strong shift toward high-performance waterborne systems, demanding automotive OEM and refinish specifications, and growing adoption of energy-efficient “cool roof” coatings. At Booth #2173, our technical team presented four TINOX® grades specifically matched to these requirements:

• TINOX® R-2290 — Premium Waterborne Architectural Coatings
  High-purity chloride-process rutile engineered for demanding waterborne formulations. As EPA VOC regulations continue to tighten across U.S. states, waterborne coating systems require higher TiO₂ pigment loadings per litre to maintain opacity — R-2290’s superior scattering efficiency delivers maximum hiding power with optimal pigment volume concentration (PVC), reducing formulation cost per unit opacity.
• TINOX® CR-1220 — Automotive OEM & Refinish Coatings
  High-durability chloride-process rutile meeting the stringent requirements of automotive topcoat and refinish systems. The U.S. automotive coatings market is one of the largest in the world — CR-1220 delivers the gloss, hiding power, UV durability and long-term colour stability demanded by automotive OEM paint lines and professional refinish shops across North America.
• TINOX® R-2140 — High-Volume Architectural & Trade Sales Paints
  Versatile rutile grade combining strong hiding power with competitive cost-efficiency — the backbone of large-volume architectural paint production. R-2140 is well suited to the U.S. trade sales and DIY paint market, where consistent opacity, good tint acceptance and reliable batch-to-batch quality are the primary purchasing criteria for paint manufacturers supplying home improvement retail chains.
• TINOX® R-2160 — Industrial Maintenance & Protective Coatings
  Robust rutile optimised for industrial maintenance coatings, protective systems and construction chemicals. North America’s ageing infrastructure — bridges, pipelines, industrial facilities and commercial structures — drives sustained demand for high-performance protective coatings. R-2160 provides excellent hiding power and chemical resistance across both solvent-borne and waterborne industrial protective formulations.

Why North American Coatings Formulators Choose TINOX® Titanium Dioxide

• Waterborne system performance — Chloride-process rutile grades deliver superior scattering efficiency and dispersibility in waterborne latex systems — critical as North American formulators reformulate to meet tightening VOC limits without sacrificing opacity or application performance.
• German engineering consistency — Manufactured to strict European quality standards in Düsseldorf, Germany. Tight particle size distribution and batch-to-batch consistency support automated high-speed paint production lines.
• REACH registered — Full EU regulatory compliance. Registration No. 01-2119489379-17. Supporting North American manufacturers who export finished coatings products to European markets.
• Complete technical support — TDS, SDS/MSDS and formulation guidance available for all grades. Our technical team advises on grade selection across architectural, automotive, industrial and specialty coatings applications.

About the American Coatings Show

Organised by the American Coatings Association and Vincentz Network, ACS is held biennially at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis — “The Crossroads of America.” The show covers the full coatings value chain: pigments, binders, solvents, additives, resins, powder coatings, laboratory equipment, production machinery and testing technology — serving architectural, automotive, industrial, marine, aerospace and specialty coatings sectors across North America and beyond.
