Is Titanium Dioxide Safe?

It's also worth noting that even prior to the EU decision, France had already outlawed titanium dioxide in food back in January 2020.

Titanium dioxide, or TiO2, sometimes referred to as E171, is an inorganic, solid substance used in a wide range of consumer goods including cosmetics, paint, plastic and food, according to the American Chemistry Council.

Overall, the Food Directorate's comprehensive review of the available science of TiO₂ as a food additive showed:

Titanium dioxide can amplify and brighten white opacity because of its exceptional light-scattering properties. In food and drugs, these properties help to define colors clearly and can prevent products from UV degradation.

Another important property of nano titanium dioxide is its high level of UV resistance. This makes it an excellent choice for use in sunscreen and other skincare products, as it can help protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with the latest technology to ensure that our nano titanium dioxide products provide the highest level of UV protection possible.

The conjugation of vitamin C to the P25TiO₂NPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy of lyophilized vitaminC@P25TiO₂NPs suspensions. The typical absorbance peak of ascorbic acid at 265 nm was found. However, no further characterization was done because they did not show the expected protective effect against the photo-induced cell damage (Fig. 3).

Last Friday, the domestic rutile and anatase titanium dioxide new single price was stable, and the overall transaction focus of the market moved up. Titanium dioxide factory work normally, part of the output of early orders, the spot supply has increased accordingly; And buyers still have inventory digestion, the current mentality turned to wait-and-see. The volume of new orders in the market is limited.The key factors affecting the current market price change1.

4. Cost-Effectiveness Purchasing titanium dioxide in wholesale quantities can lead to significant cost savings for tire manufacturers. By acquiring TiO2 in bulk, manufacturers can reduce production costs per unit, thereby improving their profit margins. Moreover, the durability and performance enhancements associated with TiO2 help reduce the frequency of tire replacements, further amplifying cost efficiency.
