Disclosed is the use of a
titanium yellow
pigment in an aqueous
coating composition, wherein the
titanium yellow
pigment comprises 92-96 wt% of TiO2 and 1-3 wt% of
iron oxide based on the total
solid weight of the
pigment. Also disclosed is the use of the
titanium yellow pigment in an aqueous
coating composition for providing opacifying properties and / or for enhancing protection of an underlayer
coating, as well as in an aqueous first color paint composition of a compact process
coating system. The invention further discloses a water-based coating composition which comprises
titanium yellow pigment, and the
titanium yellow pigment comprises 92-96 wt% of TiO2 and 1-3 wt% of
iron oxide based on the total
solid weight of the pigment; and a compact process
coating system comprising the aqueous coating composition as a
colored paint composition. Substrates coated with the aqueous coating composition or compact process
coating system are also disclosed.
