Titanium Dioxide – Rutile

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) has two forms, Rutile and Anatase, Rutile is deep red and while Anatase is yellow to blue. Rutile has higher absorbance property than Anatase. Both Anatase and Rutile are used in white pigmentation of paints, papers, plastics, foods and ceramics. The most prevalent type of titanium dioxide is rutile titanium dioxide. Due to its high refractive index, it is ideally suited for interference applications. Additionally, it is durable and chemically resistant
