Rutile is Gaining Significant Demand with Widespread applications in paints

Rutile is a synthetic mineral made up primarily of TiO2 (The two main ingredients are usually titanium and silver). Rutile is used in a variety of products, including some of the most popular watches on the market today. It is used for dials, case backs, links, pushers, hinges, and a variety of other materials. The major benefits of rutile include its hardness, pliability, and ductility. The combination of these traits allows rutile to be formed into a wide range of very useful materials. The low density of the material allows for a more flexible and pliable construct while the high concentration of the TiO2 makes it harder and much more resistant to damage. The high level of hardness also allows the material to resist impact and corrosion. Rutile can withstand extreme heat and cold and still maintain its hardening properties.

Rutile can be formed through a process called autoclave roughening or autoclave diffusion. This involves subjecting the material to high temperatures in order to increase the relative hardness of the crystals. This process is very similar to the process that forms diamonds, although rutile does not include diamonds. Instead, the material is subject to high heat and pressure and then the crystals are grown, hardened, and compressed together. The crystals then become singular units, which can be molded into many different shapes and forms.

There are two primary types of rutile that are used for various applications. One type of rutile is blue or black in color and sometimes includes a gold pigment. This pigment can add an elegant, reflective shine to the rule. The second primary type of rutile is white and used most often in applications where strength and durability are important. White rutile has a low melting point and is useful in applications that require a solidifying agent. Blue Rutile has a lower melting point and can be useful for applications that require a low degree of hardness. Both blue and white rutile is capable of hardening at room temperature. When the metal is exposed to an atmosphere with a higher temperature, the rule begins to form a layer of oxide on the surface of the metal. This oxide is slightly harder than the original metal, which allows it to take the place of the original metal.
