Fibers

Titanium dioxide pigments give a solid appearance to synthetic fibers, eliminating the greasy appearance caused by their translucent properties. Anatase pigments are used for this because their abrasive effect on the spinning operation is about one quarter that of the rutile pigments. The poor lightfastness of anatase pigments in polyamide fibers can be improved by appropriate coating.

2.1.7.3 Paper

In Europe, fillers such as kaolin, chalk, or talc are preferred as brightening agents and opacifiers in paper manufacture. Titanium dioxide pigments are suitable for very white paper that has to be opaque even when very thin (air mail or thin printing paper). The TiO2 can be incorporated into the body of the paper or applied as a coating to give a superior quality (“art” paper).

Laminated papers are usually colored with extremely lightfast rutile pigments be­fore being impregnated with melamine-urea resin for use as decorative layers or films.
