- The global market for titanium dioxide suppliers is highly competitive, with numerous players vying for a larger share of the pie. Some of the leading suppliers include DuPont, Tronox, Cristal Global, and Huntsman Corporation. These companies have established themselves as reliable sources of titanium dioxide by consistently delivering products that meet or exceed customer expectations.
- Furthermore, titanium dioxide is known for its non-toxicity and safety in use. It does not release harmful chemicals or pollutants into the environment, making it an eco-friendly choice for manufacturers who prioritize sustainability. Additionally, it is non-allergenic and safe for human contact, ensuring that the final product is safe for consumers to use.
For this reason alone, its time to ditch the Titanium Dioxide & give your skin a break from the relentless free radical damage.
A Lawsuit Claims Skittles Are Unfit for Consumption. Experts Weigh in, by Rachel Rabkin Peachman, The New York Times, July 26, 2022
In a 2021, Chinese researchers examined the impact of E171 on lipid digestion and vitamin D3 bioaccessibility in a simulated human gastrointestinal tract model. They examined Vitamin D’s bioaccessibility, or the amount it was released in the gastrointestinal tract, becoming available for absorption, and found it “significantly decreased from 80% to 74%” with the addition of E171. In the experiment, E171 decreased lipid digestion dose-dependently. Researchers wrote: “The findings of this study enhance our understanding toward the potential impact of E171 on the nutritional attributes of foods for human digestion health.” The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,
Titanium dioxide in food is used in a variety of products as a color enhancer. The most common foods containing titanium dioxide include:
Developing new Lithopone formulations, one that enhances the properties of the existing Lithopone is anticipated to boost the demand for Lithopone white pigment during the forecast period. Reinforced Lithopone is one such development, wherein a copolymer is added to the polymerization reaction to yield Lithopone with increased weather resistance. Moreover, development of nano-scale Lithopone is anticipated to attract market interest during the forecast period.

Item
White crystalline powder. It is a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. The more zinc sulfide it contains, the stronger the hiding power and the higher the quality. Density 4.136~4.34 g/cm3, insoluble in water. It easily decomposes when exposed to acid to produce hydrogen sulfide gas, but does not work when exposed to hydrogen sulfide and alkaline solutions. It turns into light gray after being exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sun for 6 to 7 hours, but it still returns to its original color when placed in a dark place. It is easy to oxidize in the air and will agglomerate and deteriorate when exposed to moisture.
