Titanium dioxide, (TiO2), a white, opaque, naturally occurring mineral existing in a number of crystalline forms, the most important of which are rutile and anatase. These naturally occurring oxide forms can be mined and serve as a source for commercial titanium. Titanium dioxide is odourless and absorbent. Its most important function in powder form is as a widely used pigment for lending whiteness and opacity.

In conclusion, titanium dioxide is an essential ingredient for plastic manufacturers due to its ability to enhance the appearance, improve mechanical properties, block UV radiation, and ensure safety and sustainability. While there may be challenges associated with its use, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. As such, it remains a popular choice among manufacturers who strive to produce high-quality plastic products that meet consumer demands and environmental standards.

After settling, the clear solution containing the titanium oxide, is run oil andfurther processed, whereby a roduct is obtained containing approximate y 35 per cent titanium oxide, 2 per cent sulphuric acid and 63 per cent of water. This product is known in the trade as titanium acid cake. It is a plastic mags having somewhat the consistency of mu 1 ljha've discovered that lithopone can be greatly improved by the suitable use of this titanium acid cake, and that the results obtained are dependent to a large extent upon the methods'by which this titanium acid cake is used,'in the production of lithopone.
