Artificial Rutile is also called Synthetic Rutile. Its TiO2 content varies from 91% to 96% depending on the processing technology. It is a high-quality substitute for natural rutile.
Synthetic Rutile can be used to make high-quality welding electrodes; titanium dioxide can be used to make high-grade white paints, coatings, lightening agents for rayon, white rubber and fillers for high-grade paper. Titanium, titanium metal, enamel products and electrode coatings can also be used to produce artificial rutile yellow pigments.
