Description from the manufacturer
While Titanium White Anatase was synthesised at the beginning of the 20th century, Titanium White Rutile was introduced in 1937 and offers greater opacity and weathering resistence than its earlier counterpart. Titanium White dominates the white pigment market, and has replaced Lead White as the most popular white artist pigment. It is also used in the production of plastics, cosmetics, paper, medicines, house paints, and artist paints. Titanium White is very opaque and extremely strong in mixtures. It is a slow-drying pigment, particularly in oil paint. In oil paint, PW 6 also makes a soft and spongy paint film, so it is best mixed with Zinc White (PW 4) to balance out this tendency.
