- Increasing end-uses of rubber products:
EFSA's evaluation is related to the risks of TiO2 used as a food additive, not to other uses.
Still, you may wonder whether it’s safe for consumption.
- Lithopone, a white pigment commonly used in the production of paint, ink, and plastics, is available from a variety of suppliers worldwide. One such supplier offering lithopone with a purity of 28%-30% is known for providing high-quality products at competitive prices.
On the other hand, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in their Final Administrative Order on Sunscreen Drug Products posted in September 2021 still accepts titanium dioxide up to 25% in the list of Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective (GRASE) in the main document, without further clarification on what kind or size of particles [9]. However, on page 24 (Sunscreen containing nanomaterials) FDA clearly “distinguish nanomaterials from other forms of these ingredients'' (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) and ask for comments on “any particular nanomaterials that you believe should not be permitted for use in OTC sunscreen products”. To the best of our knowledge, this Agency did not ban the use of nanoparticulate titanium dioxide in any form, even though it is mentioned on page 34 that the anatase form is the more photoactive one, due to the lack of evidence with real sunscreens OTC (over the counter) in vivo. Moreover, other regulations in Latin America (MERCOSUR agreement, 2006) do not state clearly their position on the use of nanoparticulate TiO2NPs [10].
- When purchasing Lithopone 28-30%, it is essential to work with reputable manufacturers who can provide high-quality products that meet international standards. These manufacturers typically have extensive experience in the production and distribution of pigments and can offer guidance on the proper handling and storage of the product to ensure its optimal performance.
- Another prominent player is Tronox, which boasts a comprehensive portfolio of titanium dioxide pigments suitable for a variety of industries. With facilities around the globe, Tronox ensures reliable supply chains and meets the demands of customers worldwide.
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%.

What Is Titanium Dioxide?
China’s TiO2 exports were booming in 2016. The continuously depreciating RMB and the increasing export scales of China’s manufacturers have strengthened this development throughout the year. As a fact, many of China’s producers exported their products with a lower price while achieving higher profit margins in the domestic market of TiO2. Tranalysis, a trade analysis provider, now reveals the top 10 Chinese TiO2 exporters of the year 2016 with the original data of China Customs.
Founded in 1902 by Henrick J. Krebs, Krebs Pigments and Chemical Company produced lithopone, a widely used white paint pigment also manufactured by DuPont. But Krebs' company had another asset of special interest to DuPont. ...
Titanium dioxide has many purposes in both food and product development.
By doing so, we achieve cost reduction, increased film strength and improved fungicidal and algaecidal properties.
For this reason alone, its time to ditch the Titanium Dioxide & give your skin a break from the relentless free radical damage.
