Natural titanium dioxide, opaque, yellowish.

Buff Titanium is an opaque, universally used white pigment with a beige tone.

Buff Titanium is made from synthetic rutile in a process which incorporates fluid energy milling. During the manufacture of synthetic rutile, high temperature calcination and strong acid leaching render buff titanium dioxide totally inactive and inert. The process produces a high quality pigment, leaving only a very small percentage of iron oxide.

The small percentage of iron oxide remaining gives buff titanium its characteristic natural of "buff" color. In the buff titanium process, particles of synthetic rutile mechanically abrade each other to form the end product. It is ground to a specified fineness with particles slightly larger and more irregularly-shaped than typical TiO2 pigment.
