Titanate-based pigments contain titanium dioxide as a base component. The different types are listed in Table 5.2 [4]. Pigments using TiO2 as a modifier are not included here. The important crystalline types are rutiles and spinels, with few other structures having commercial relevance. Titanates comprise the largest volume of CICPs in use today, and of these the greatest usage is of the rutile grades. Detailed information on titanate pigments can be found in Chapter 6 of this volume.
