Chinese manufacturers adhere to strict quality control standards, ensuring that their anatase TiO2 meets international specifications. The 99.6% purity level is achieved through sophisticated purification techniques, including leaching, precipitation, and calcination processes. These methods remove impurities such as iron, sulfur, and organic compounds, resulting in a product with exceptional whiteness, brightness, and dispersion properties.

On November 23, 2022, the General Court of the European Union reversed the conclusion that titanium dioxide was carcinogenic and released a statement (1,2):

First, the Commission made a manifest error in its assessment of the reliability and acceptability of the study on which the classification was based and, second, it infringed the criterion according to which that classification can relate only to a substance that has the intrinsic property to cause cancer.
 
As part of our mission at CRIS we base our safety assessments on the currently available scientific evidence and consider many variables (e.g., study quality, journal of publication, etc.), even if it goes against previous conclusions. Evidence-informed decisions making is critical to ensure that the laws and regulations put into place are for the benefit of the population.
 
The EU General Court maintains that the scientific evidence presented wasn’t the complete picture for the ingredient, “in the present case, the requirement to base the classification of a carcinogenic substance on reliable and acceptable studies was not satisfied.

In addition to its role in industrial applications, titanium dioxide also plays a crucial role in environmental protection. As a key ingredient in solar panels, titanium dioxide helps to harness the power of the sun and convert it into clean energy As a key ingredient in solar panels, titanium dioxide helps to harness the power of the sun and convert it into clean energy As a key ingredient in solar panels, titanium dioxide helps to harness the power of the sun and convert it into clean energy As a key ingredient in solar panels, titanium dioxide helps to harness the power of the sun and convert it into clean energychina 98%min titanium dioxide anatase. By investing in the development of solar technology, China is not only reducing its reliance on fossil fuels but also helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
