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 outdoor applications. Commonly found in architectural paints, industrial coatings, and automotive finishes.

Used in the production of paper to improve whiteness, brightness, and opacity, especially in high-quality printing and packaging papers.

A key ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics, where it acts as a physical UV blocker, protecting the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Its inert nature and low skin irritation potential make it suitable for sensitive skin products.

Employed in food products as a colorant (E171) to enhance whiteness or brightness in items such as candies, chewing gum, and powdered foods. Also used in pharmaceuticals for coating tablets and capsules to improve appearance and light protection.

Utilized in photocatalytic applications, where it helps break down organic pollutants in air and water when exposed to UV light. Applied in self-cleaning surfaces, air purification systems, and antimicrobial coatings.

Used in some advanced materials, including solar cells, sensors, and catalysts, due to its semiconductor properties and stability under light exposure.
