Ibara rya okiside y'icyuma ni ubwoko bw'ibara rishobora gukwirakwira neza, rihangana neza n'urumuri, kandi rirwanya ikirere. Ibara rya okiside y'icyuma ahanini ryerekeza ku moko ane y'ibara: okiside y'icyuma itukura, umuhondo w'icyuma, umukara w'icyuma, n'umukara w'icyuma, hamwe na okiside y'icyuma nk'ikintu cy'ibanze. Muri byo, okiside y'icyuma itukura ni yo ibara ry'ingenzi (rigizwe na 50% byaibara rya okiside y'icyuma), na mica ikoreshwa mu kurwanya ingese na magnetic ikoreshwa mu gufata amashusho ya magnetic nabyo biri mu cyiciro cyaibara rya okiside y'icyuma. Okiside y'icyuma ni yo ibara rya kabiri rinini ry’ingirabuzimafatizo nyuma ya diokiside ya titanium kandi ikaba ari na yo ibara rinini ry’ingirabuzimafatizo. Ibirenga 70% by'ibara ryose ry’ingirabuzimafatizo z'icyuma rikoreshwa rikorwa hakoreshejwe uburyo bwa shimi bwo gukora, buzwi nka okiside y'icyuma ikoze mu buryo bwa synthetic. Okiside y'icyuma ikoze mu buryo bwa synthetic ikoreshwa cyane mu bikoresho by'ubwubatsi, mu gusiga, muri pulasitiki, mu by'ikoranabuhanga, mu itabi, mu buvuzi, mu rubura, mu byuma bya ceramic, mu byuma bya wino, mu bikoresho bya rukuruzi, mu gukora impapuro, no mu bindi bintu bitewe n'uko ikora neza cyane, ingano y'uduce duto, chromatography nini, amabara menshi, igiciro gito, kandi idahumanya, ndetse n'imiterere myiza yo gusiga irangi no gukoresha, ndetse no mu miterere yo kwinjiza UV.
