Pure titanium dioxide is a fine, white powder that provides a bright, white pigment. Titanium dioxide has been used for a century in a range of industrial and consumer products, including paints, coatings, adhesives, paper, plastics and rubber, printing inks, coated fabrics and textiles, as well as ceramics, floor coverings, roofing materials, cosmetics, toothpaste, soap, water treatment agents, pharmaceuticals, food colorants, automotive products, sunscreen and catalysts.<\/p>\n
Pigment-grade Titanium Dioxide<\/strong><\/p>\n Pigment-grade titanium dioxide is used in a range of applications that require high opacity and brightness. In fact, most surfaces and items that are white and pastel, and even dark shades of color, contain titanium dioxide. Pigment-grade titanium dioxide is used in a range of applications, including:<\/p>\n Ultrafine-grade, or Nanoscale Titanium Dioxide<\/strong><\/p>\n Ultrafine-grades of titanium dioxide are most commonly used in the following specialty applications:<\/p>\n The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assessed the safety of titanium dioxide pigment as a color additive in food, drug and cosmetic applications. FDA had issued guidance clarifying the safe use of titanium dioxide pigment as a food colorant, and has stated that titanium dioxide may be safely used in cosmetics, including cosmetics intended for use around the eye. FDA also regulates the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens and their ingredients, including nanoscale titanium dioxide.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Titanium dioxide, also called Titania, (TiO2),is a white, opaque, naturally occurring mineral existing in a number of crystalline forms, the most important of which are rutile and anatase. These naturally occurring oxide forms can be mined and they can serve as a source for commercial titanium. Titanium dioxide is odourless and absorbent. Its most important function in powder form is as a widely used pigment for lending whiteness and opacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[78],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
