Widely used as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics due to its high opacity and brightness. Provides excellent UV resistance and durability in exterior applications. Common in architectural paints, industrial coatings, and automotive finishes. Used in the production of sunscreen and cosmetics for its ability to block ultraviolet light without irritating the skin. Acts as a physical barrier, reflecting and scattering UV rays. Found in paper and printing inks to improve whiteness, brightness, and opacity. Enhances print contrast and reduces show-through in high-quality papers. Added to food products as a coloring agent (E171) to achieve a bright white appearance in items like candies, chewing gum, and dairy products. Also used in pharmaceuticals for coating tablets and capsules to improve appearance and light protection. Utilized in environmental applications such as photocatalytic air and water purification systems, where it helps break down organic pollutants under UV light.
