We have a plant here that makes the stuff. They take titanium ore and
treat it with several chemicals and turn out a pure, harmless coloring
agent. They're known as Louisiana Pigments, aka LAPIG. Large payroll,
well-treated employees, very low accident rate. I used to consult with
them on occasion. Pretty nice folks with lots of money tied up in
environmental controls.
