Titanium dioxide is a colorless solid crystalline substance. Despite its colorless, titanium dioxide in large quantities is an extremely effective white pigment if it is well purified.
- Paintwork materials: enamels, varnishes, paints, - to improve hiding power and bleaching, to protect surfaces from UV rays;
-Plastiс material: to ensure the intensity of color, high whiteness;
- Paper and cardboard: bleaching, improvement of covering ability of a paper pulp, for lamination;
- Synthetic fibers and fabrics: matting of twisted fibers;
