Another major benefit of FRP mining equipment is its durability. Fiberglass is inherently resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemicals, making it an ideal material for use in harsh mining environments. This durability ensures that FRP equipment has a longer lifespan than traditional metal equipment, resulting in cost savings for mining companies in the long run
- Chemical resistance is another key property of R1930, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments. It is resistant to acids, bases, and solvents, which means that it can withstand the conditions often encountered in printing processes. This makes R1930 an ideal choice for inks that will be used in harsh environments, such as outdoor signage or packaging materials that may come into contact with chemicals.
Following six months of phasing out the additive, titanium dioxide will be completely banned in the European Union starting August 7. France had previously banned the use of titanium dioxide in food starting in January 2020.
Why all of a sudden is there so much interest in the safety of Titanium Dioxide?
Researchers from France and Luxembourg gave E171 (the much more food friendly name for Titanium Dioxide) in Europe and the United States, to lab rats in their drinking water for 100 days.
Of those rats, 40 per cent of the exposed rodents developed “preneoplastic lesions” or precancerous growths. The Titanium Dioxide also inhibited the immune systems of the rats and “accelerated” the growth of the lesions. France’s INRA agricultural research institute, which took part in the study, said in a statement.“These results demonstrate a role in initiating and promoting the early stages of colorectal cancer formation,” though it said no conclusion could be drawn about later phases of cancer, or of any danger to humans……….(not till they test it on us!!)
The results of the study were published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
Magnesium oxide (MgO). It is used as a curing agent and an acid scavenger in solvent-borne polychloroprene adhesives. It is a white powder with a high melting point. It has a greater ability to reflect visible light more efficiently than titanium dioxide
Data availability statement
Titanium dioxide is a naturally-occurring mineral found in the earth’s crust. Because of its white color, opaqueness, and ability to refract light, the ingredient is often used as a pigment, brightener, and opacifier, which is an ingredient that makes a formulation more opaque. Titanium dioxide is also a UV filter and so is an effective active ingredient in sunscreens. It’s often used in cosmetic loose and pressed powders, especially “mineral powder” cosmetics, in addition to other cosmetics, lotions, toothpaste, and soap.
This work confirms previous studies that show P-25 and other untreated anatase 377 nanoparticles should not be employed in sunscreens because the toxicity of P25TiO2NPs under UV radiation is significant.

In cosmetics, titanium dioxide’s properties enhance coloration and can help protect skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays.
Sunscreens and cosmetics containing titanium dioxide are generally considered safe since they are mineral-based products. Mineral products are often recommended for acne-prone and sensitive skin. However, there have been some concerns that titanium dioxide may have a negative impact on health.
Natural barite and anthracite containing more than 95% barium sulfate are mixed and fed at a ratio of 3:1 (mass). After being crushed to a diameter of less than 2cm, it enters the reduction furnace. The furnace temperature is controlled to be 1000-1200°C in the front section and 500-500 in the back section. 600°C, the reduction furnace rotates at a speed of 80 seconds per revolution, and the reaction conversion rate is 80% to 90%.
This precipitate is not suitable for a pigment until it is filtered, dried, crushed, heated to a high temperature, and quenched in cold water. The second heating in a muffle furnace at 725 C produces crystals of the right optical size.
When choosing lithopone, you must choose a good brand and pay attention to its production date. Some people just don’t pay attention to this aspect and often pursue cheap prices. As a result, they buy products that are close to their expiration date and have not been stored for long. It is no longer usable. This is very important.
In summary, the Food Directorate's position is that there is no conclusive scientific evidence that the food additive TiO2 is a concern for human health. This is based on a review of the available scientific data relevant to food uses of TiO2. However, we will continue to monitor the emerging science on the safety of TiO2 as a food additive and may revisit our position if new scientific information becomes available.
