formation of titanium dioxide factories
Titanium dioxide powder, with its chemical formula TiO2, is a widely used material in various industries due to its excellent properties such as high refractive index, strong UV absorption ability, and good chemical stability. It is commonly used as a pigment in paints, plastics, paper, and food coloring. In addition, titanium dioxide powder also has applications in photocatalysis, solar cells, and gas sensors.
While this ruling from the EU General Court doesn’t immediately change the regulations surrounding titanium dioxide, nor does it change the ban that went into place in 2022, it does put the ingredient back in the spotlight.
In the coming months, we will see how the ruling impacts the regulations around titanium dioxide (E171), and we’ll see if the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) will take another look at the body of scientific evidence used to justify the current ban on E171 in foods and pharmaceuticals.
