This pigment is powder. For use in artistic painting, it should be ground finely in a mortar before mixing it with the binder.

Colour : white changing according to the dosage and the binder used. Tiona titanium white has the highest refractive index of all white pigments: it therefore has a very high covering power.

Water paint / lime putty: dilute the pigment in a little water to make it liquid before incorporating it into the paint.
Powdered lime / cement / plaster: directly incorporate the pigment (up to 10% in relation to the weight of the binder), then mix so as to tint all of your binder.

Recommended dosage: The maximum dosage is 10% in relation to the binder used. Beyond 10%, it is recommended to incorporate fixatives and adjuvants (use of lime).

History : titanium dioxide was called ilmenite after the discovery of large deposits of titanium ore in Ilmen (Russia) at the end of the 18th century. Its use as a pigment only dates from the beginning of the 20th century. Due to its qualities (see colors), this pigment was preferred to other white pigments despite its somewhat high cost.
