Widely used as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics due to its high opacity and brightness. Common in architectural and industrial coatings for durable, long-lasting finishes. Employed in printing inks for vivid color presentation and in paper manufacturing to improve whiteness and opacity. Used in sunscreens and cosmetics for UV protection, leveraging its ability to scatter and absorb ultraviolet light. Applied in photocatalytic air and water purification systems, where it breaks down organic pollutants under UV light. Utilized in self-cleaning surfaces and anti-fogging coatings on glass and ceramics. Also found in some food products as a color enhancer, though this use is declining due to regulatory concerns. Its non-toxic nature and stability make it suitable for medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
