Abstract: A pigment comprises a titanium oxide having a BET specific surface area of from about 3 m2/g to about 200 m2/g, and a D90 diameter corresponding to 90% of a particle size cumulative distribution on a weight basis of about 2.2 ?m or less. Also disclosed is a photocatalyst composition, a cosmetic, a cloth, an ultraviolet ray-shielding material and a silicone rubber, each containing a titanium oxide.

Abstract: Particulates, particularly ultrafine particulates of titanium oxide having a BET specific surface area of from about 3 m2/g to about 200 m2/g, preferably from about 5 m2/g to about 200 m2/g, and more preferably from about 10 m2/g to about 200 m2/g are obtained using a vapor phase process of producing titanium oxide by oxidizing titanium tetrachloride with an oxidizing gas at a high temperature, wherein a titanium tetrachloride-containing gas and an oxidizing gas are reacted after preheating each gas at about 500° C. or more. The particulates, particularly ultrafine particulates of titanium oxide have less aggregation and have highly excellent dispersibility.
