Rublev Colours Pigment Titanium White (Dioxide) - 100 g

Titanium white (titanium dioxide) pigment is a fine white powder. When used in paints, it provides for maximum whiteness and opacity. It gives paint high hiding power, meaning the ability to mask or hide the substrate underneath. It does this more effectively than any other white pigment. Today, titanium white pigment is the most important material used by the paint industry for whiteness and opacity. These unique properties are derived from the refractive index of titanium white. The refractive index expresses the ability to bend and scatter light. Titanium white has the highest refractive index of any material known to man, greater than diamond. To use this property, titanium white must be mined, refined, and ground to a fine, uniform particle size.

Warning: Titanium white pigments have been produced and processed for nearly a century, and no acute or chronic harmful effects attributable to titanium dioxide have become known. Titanium white is not considered hazardous, but care should be taken when handling dry powder pigment to avoid inhaling the dust.
