Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2. It is a white solid or powdery amphoteric oxide with a molecular weight of 79.866. It is non-toxic, has the best opacity, best whiteness and brightness, and is considered to have the highest performance in the world today. The best white paint. Titanium white has strong adhesion, is not prone to chemical changes, and is always white. Widely used in coatings, plastics, papermaking, printing ink, chemical fiber, rubber, cosmetics and other industries. It has a high melting point and is also used to make refractory glass, glazes, enamels, clay, high-temperature-resistant experimental vessels, etc. Titanium dioxide can be extracted from rutile by acid decomposition or obtained by decomposing titanium tetrachloride. Titanium dioxide exists in three allotropic forms in nature: rutile, anatase and plate titanium. In addition, there are several artificially synthesized crystal forms.
