Rutile is a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide, TiO2. Rutile is the most common natural form of TiO2. Rutile has among the highest refractive indices of any known mineral and also exhibits high dispersion. Natural rutile may contain up to 10% iron and significant amounts of niobium and tantalum. Rutile, when present in large enough quantities in beach sands, forms an important constituent of heavy mineral sands ore deposits. Finely powdered rutile is a brilliant white pigment and is used in paints, plastics, papers, foods, and other applications that call for a bright white color. Titanium dioxide pigment is the single greatest use of titanium worldwide. Nanoscale particles of rutile are transparent to visible light but are highly effective in the absorption of UV light. Hence, they are used in sunscreens to protect against UV induced skin damage.

Silica sand has a high melting point and it doesn’t break down even when subjected to high temperatures. There are many unique characteristics of silica sand like that of void ratio, soundness, weight etc. which makes it ideal for manifold purposes. Silica sand finds application in construction projects as ceramic material. Also for many building products, silica sand is really important. Apart from these, it is used as an abrasive in blasting and various types of polishing and grinding materials. Silica sand finds application in glass making, paint industry and in hydraulic fracturing process.
