Pigments are solid materials that are used to impart color, control gloss, improve performance, such as infrared reflectance or corrosion resistance, or simply {occupy space in a paint film}.

While durability, appearance, or gloss, etc. could be
I believe this sentence should be written as:
Pigments provide color, corrosion resistance and gloss control, and occupy space.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you wh81,不知道建筑涂料中的颜料为什么要特别说可以填补缝隙，感觉有点问题，但是还需要再求证一下。多谢你的答案
Asker: 我最后根据全文的含义以及对一下文字的理解，Pigments are solid materials that are used to impart color, control gloss, improve performance, such as infrared reflectance or corrosion resistance, or simply occupy space in a paint film. 选择了这个比较接近于填料，填充物的意思。
谢谢！
