It covers strongly, so small amounts lighten a mixture a lot. Its warm tone makes it a good base for toned grounds and for light tints that should not look cold. Keep the jar closed and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout titanium white buff\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitanium dioxide was first mass-produced as a white pigment in 1916 and is now the most widely used white pigment. Standard titanium white is purified to a bright, neutral white; the buff grade is unbleached and keeps a warm tone from iron and other metal oxides bound with the titanium dioxide. Our supplier describes it as calcined titanium white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInhaled titanium dioxide dust is classified by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), so avoid breathing the powder. Handle dry pigment with care: avoid breathing the dust and contact with eyes. Wear a dust mask (FFP2\/N95) and gloves when working with the powder, work in a well-ventilated area and wipe up spills with a damp cloth. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working; wash your hands afterwards. Keep away from children and pets. For artistic and technical use only — not for cosmetics, food or tattoos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between titanium white buff and titanium white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are titanium dioxide.
