Pigment-grade type of titanium dioxide or titanium dioxide pigment is used in a wide range of uses that need high opacity and brightness. In fact, most surfaces and items that are coloured in white, pastel, and dark shades contain this oxide. The applications of pigment-grade titanium dioxide are given below in detail.
