APPLICATIONS

The products have unique physicochemical properties, such as non-toxicity, insolubility, high thermal stability and chemical inertness, which ensure their great performance in high temperatures and other harsh environments. And also they are good semiconductors with high photoactivity. Moreover, they have high refractive index and unique ability to reflect light, which allow them to be used in many optical applications, e.g., imparting whiteness, brightness, and opacity to various end-use products.
