Ilmenite is a low-grade ore of Titanium, containing iron. There are other better sources of the metal, largely obtained from mineral sands. Titanium is used as a whitener in a huge range of products including paint, toothpaste & paper. Because of its special qualities, the metallic form is used in aircraft fuselages and wings. It glows under ultraviolet light and has largely replaced poisonous lead as a super-white pigment.
