TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Titanium is the strongest white pigment known for many uses, in ceramics the whiteness (and opacity) it imparts to glazes is due to its tendency to crystallize during cooling. It can be used as an additive to enliven (variegate, crystallize) the color and texture of glazes. It is also used to remove watermarking in wall tiles.
