"Sorry" to get "technical" here, but that would be titanium dioxide aka
TiO2.  Hopefully you are using only the dry powdered form as it is also
available in a "paste" form as a white pigment for use in oil based paints.

I mix in a bit of titanium oxide this helps to hide the discoloration that
occurs with the chemical reaction between the two plastics.
