Ibara rya okiside y'icyuma ni ubwoko bw'ibara rishobora gukwirakwira neza, rihangana neza n'urumuri, kandi rigakomeza guhangana n'ikirere. Ibara rya okiside y'icyuma ahanini risobanura ubwoko bune bw'ibara ry'amabara, ari ryo okiside y'icyuma itukura, umuhondo w'icyuma, umukara w'icyuma, n'umukara w'icyuma, bishingiye kuri okiside y'icyuma. Muri byo, okiside y'icyuma itukura ni yo ibara nyamukuru (rigizwe na 50% by'ibara rya okiside y'icyuma), naho okiside y'icyuma ya mica ikoreshwa nk'ibara rirwanya ingese na okiside y'icyuma ya magnetic ikoreshwa nk'ibikoresho byo kwandika magnetic nabyo biri mu cyiciro cy'ibara rya okiside y'icyuma. Okiside y'icyuma ni yo ibara rya kabiri rinini ritari iry'umwimerere nyuma ya titanium dioxide kandi ni na yo ibara rinini ritari iry'umwimerere. Ibirenga 70% by'ibara ryose rya okiside y'icyuma rikoreshwa ritegurwa hakoreshejwe uburyo bwo gukora imiti, buzwi nka okiside y'icyuma ya synthetic. Okiside y'icyuma ya synthetic ikoreshwa cyane mu bikoresho by'ubwubatsi, irangi, pulasitiki, ibikoresho by'ikoranabuhanga, itabi, imiti, rubber, ceramics, wino yo gucapa, ibikoresho bya magneti, gukora impapuro n'ibindi bintu bitewe n'ubuziranenge bwayo bwinshi bwa synthetic, ingano y'uduce duto, chromatography nini, amabara menshi, igiciro gito, idahumanya, imiterere myiza yo gusiga no gukoresha, hamwe n'imiterere yo kwinjiza ultraviolet. Amabara ya okiside y'icyuma akoreshwa cyane mu gusiga amarangi, amarangi, na wino bitewe nuko adahumanya, adava amaraso, ahendutse, kandi ashobora gukora amabara atandukanye. Amabara agizwe n'ibintu bikora filime, amarangi, ibintu byuzuza, ibintu bikora ibinyabutabire, n'ibindi. Yavuye ku mabara ashingiye ku mavuta kugeza ku mabara ya resin, kandi amabara atandukanye ntashobora kubaho adakoreshejwe, cyane cyane amabara ya okiside y'icyuma, yabaye ubwoko bw'amabara bw'ingenzi mu nganda zisiga amarangi.

Ibara rya okiside y'icyuma rikoreshwa mu gusiga ririmo umuhondo w'icyuma, umutuku w'icyuma, umukara w'icyuma, umukara w'icyuma, okiside y'icyuma ya mica, umuhondo w'icyuma ugaragara, umutuku w'icyuma ugaragara, n'ibicuruzwa bibonerana, aho umutuku w'icyuma ari wo w'ingenzi cyane mu bwinshi no mu bwinshi.

Ibara ry'umutuku ry'icyuma rirwanya ubushyuhe cyane, ntirihindura ibara kuri dogere 500, kandi ntirihindura imiterere yabyo ya shimi kuri dogere 1200, bigatuma rigumaho neza cyane. Rishobora kwinjiza urumuri rwa ultraviolet mu zuba, bityo rikagira ingaruka zo kurinda irangi. Rirwanya aside, alkali, amazi, n'ibintu bishongesha, bigatuma rihangana neza n'ikirere.
