金红石晶体结构致密，比较稳定，光学活性小，因而耐候性好，同时有较高的遮盖力，消色力。
Rutile crystal structure is compact, relatively stable, optical activity is small, so it has good weather resistance, high covering power and achromatic power.
金红石型钛白粉，大部分被涂料工业所消耗。用钛白粉制造的涂料，色彩鲜艳，遮盖力高，着色力强，用量省，品种多，对介质的稳定性可起到保护作用，并能增强漆膜的机械强度和附着力，防止裂纹，防止紫外线和水分透过，延长漆膜寿命。
Rutile titanium dioxide is mostly consumed by coating industry. The coating made of titanium dioxide has bright colors, high covering power, strong coloring power, low consumption and many varieties, which can protect the stability of the medium, enhance the mechanical strength and adhesion of the paint film, prevent cracks, prevent the penetration of ultraviolet rays and water, and prolong the life of the paint film.
金红石钛白粉与钛白粉最主要的区别就是金红石无论在遮盖、分散等各个方面的性能都要远超锐钛型钛白粉，锐钛在高温下也会转变为金红石。用途上基本都是重叠的，锐钛基本多用于低端一点的产品当中。
The main difference between rutile titanium dioxide and titanium dioxide is that rutile is far superior to anatase titanium dioxide in covering, dispersing and other aspects, and anatase will turn into rutile at high temperature. The applications are basically overlapped, and anatase is mostly used in low-end products.
