Used extensively in ceramics and refractories due to its high thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock. Commonly added to glazes and enamels to improve opacity, whiteness, and durability. Employed in the manufacture of foundry molds and cores because it resists reactions with molten metals. Also utilized in abrasives, precision casting, and as a corrosion-resistant coating in high-temperature environments. In the paint and coatings industry, it acts as an opacifier and extender pigment, enhancing UV resistance and durability. In the dental and cosmetic industries, it serves as a white pigment and opacifier in porcelain crowns, toothpaste, and other formulations.
