Titanium dioxide ndi inorganic chemical raw material, yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri popanga mafakitale monga zokutira, mapulasitiki, mphira, kupanga mapepala, inki zosindikizira, ulusi wamankhwala, ndi zodzoladzola. Titanium dioxide ili ndi mitundu iwiri ya kristalo: rutile ndi anatase. Rutile titanium dioxide, ndiko kuti, R-mtundu wa titaniyamu woipa; anatase titanium dioxide, ndiko kuti, mtundu wa A-titanium dioxide.
Titaniyamu yamtundu wa titaniyamu woipa ndi wa pigment-grade titanium dioxide, yomwe imakhala ndi mphamvu zobisala, mphamvu zopangira kwambiri, zotsutsa kukalamba komanso kukana nyengo yabwino. Anatase titaniyamu woipa, mankhwala dzina titaniyamu woipa, molekyulu chilinganizo Ti02, molekyulu kulemera 79.88. ufa woyera, kachulukidwe wachibale 3.84. Kukhalitsa sikuli bwino ngati rutile titaniyamu woipa, kukana kuwala ndi osauka, ndipo wosanjikiza zomatira n'zosavuta pulverized pambuyo pamodzi ndi utomoni. Choncho, nthawi zambiri amagwiritsidwa ntchito pazinthu zamkati, ndiko kuti, amagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pazinthu zomwe sizidutsa dzuwa.
