china titanox titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide, also known as TiO2, is a white pigment that is highly stable and non-toxic. It is commonly used in paints, plastics, papers, and cosmetics due to its excellent brightness and high refractive index. In the paint industry, titanium dioxide is added to enhance the opacity and durability of the product, ensuring long-lasting protection for surfaces. Manufacturers rely on this pigment to produce high-quality paints that meet customer demands for superior performance and aesthetic appeal.

While IARC listed titanium dioxide as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” they also add that “there is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of titanium dioxide.” Of the four human studies that they reviewed, only one showed a potential risk for occupational workers inhaling titanium dioxide particles and lung cancer, while the other three showed no risk for cancer at all. And it’s key to note that IARC did not assess the effects of titanium dioxide found in foods.
