Titanium White Rutile– Color Index # PW6
An opaque white pigment with high opacity to use alone or lighten other colors.
Titanium dioxide occurs in nature as the well-known mineral, Rutile, found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Rutile is the second most abundant mineral sand.

Note: Not to be confused with Titanium Metal (Ti) which is a silver metal that can also be derived from the same deposits but is a separate component. Titanium Metal is not a part of Titanium White pigment which does not contain any metal.
Note: The children’s white paint is made with limestone powder.
