titanium dioxide anatase b101 manufacturers

Silver titanium dioxide is a remarkable compound with a unique set of properties that make it highly sought after in various industries. This innovative material combines the benefits of silver, an element known for its antimicrobial properties, with those of titanium dioxide, a pigment widely used for its brightness and ability to reflect light. The combination results in a product that not only has excellent color stability and high refractive index but also exhibits strong antibacterial and antifungal characteristics.

In a study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2020, researchers examined the effects of food additives titanium dioxide and silica on the intestinal tract by grouping and feeding mice three different food-grade particles — micro-TiO2, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2.  With all three groups, researchers observed changes in the gut microbiota, particularly mucus-associated bacteria. Furthermore, all three groups experienced inflammatory damage to the intestine, but the nano-TiO2 displayed the most pronounced changes. The researchers wrote: “Our results suggest that the toxic effects on the intestine were due to reduced intestinal mucus barrier function and an increase in metabolite lipopolysaccharides which activated the expression of inflammatory factors downstream. In mice exposed to nano-TiO2, the intestinal PKC/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. These findings will raise awareness of toxicities associated with the use of food-grade TiO2 and SiO2.”
