When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6 (PW6), or CI 77891. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water, although mineral forms can appear black. As a pigment, it has a wide range of applications, including paint, sunscreen, and food coloring. When used as a food coloring, it has E number E171.
Titanium Dioxide 99% AR” describes a high-purity grade of titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder with a minimum purity of 99%, where “AR” signifies it meets Analytical Reagent standards for laboratory and research use. The term also specifies it is insoluble in water and often comes as a white, opaque powder that serves as a pigment, offering high brightness, opacity, and UV resistance for applications in coatings, plastics, and cosmetics.“AR” Grade: This designation means it is an Analytical Reagent grade. This indicates a high purity suitable for laboratory use, not for direct use in food or cosmetics, which have their own specific regulations and purity standards
