Many of the properties of titanate pigments need to be controlled or monitored to give good, reproducible performance in the various applications. The properties to be discussed are:
1. spectral properties: visible, UV/NIR
2. physical properties: particle size distribution, XRD phase characterization, specific gravity, oil absorption, specific surface area, powder flow and dusting
3. chemical properties: pH, weathering, particle chemistry
