anatase titanium dioxide for paints manufacturers

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is commonly applied to enhance the white colour and brightness of food products. TiO2 is also used as white pigment in other products such as toothpaste. A small fraction of the pigment is known to be present as nanoparticles (NPs). Recent studies with TiO2 NPs indicate that these particles can have toxic effects. In this paper, we aimed to estimate the oral intake of TiO2 and its NPs from food, food supplements and toothpaste in the Dutch population aged 2 to over 70 years by combining data on food consumption and supplement intake with concentrations of Ti and TiO2 NPs in food products and supplements. For children aged 2-6 years, additional intake via ingestion of toothpaste was estimated. The mean long-term intake to TiO2 ranges from 0.06 mg/kg bw/day in elderly (70+), 0.17 mg/kg bw/day for 7-69-year-old people, to 0.67 mg/kg bw/day in children (2-6 year old). The estimated mean intake of TiO2 NPs ranges from 0.19 μg/kg bw/day in elderly, 0.55 μg/kg bw/day for 7-69-year-old people, to 2.16 μg/kg bw/day in young children. Ninety-fifth percentile (P95) values are 0.74, 1.61 and 4.16 μg/kg bw/day, respectively. The products contributing most to the TiO2 intake are toothpaste (in young children only), candy, coffee creamer, fine bakery wares and sauces. In a separate publication, the results are used to evaluate whether the presence of TiO2 NPs in these products can pose a human health risk.

When sourcing lithopone, businesses typically consult with manufacturers who provide detailed price lists. These lists outline the costs associated with different types of lithopone, such as those tailored for specific solvent resistance or heat stability requirements. Prospective buyers should expect to find a range of options, from economy grades suitable for general-purpose uses to more sophisticated varieties intended for exacting industrial applications.

Anatase, one of the three main crystalline forms of TiO2, possesses a unique structure that enhances its performance in numerous applications. With a high specific surface area and excellent thermal stability, B101 Anatase powder exhibits superior photocatalytic efficiency compared to other forms, such as Rutile and Brookite. This attribute makes it a popular choice for use in air purification, water treatment, and self-cleaning surfaces.

As the demand for titanium dioxide continues to grow, so does the competition among suppliers. Companies that can produce high-quality rutile and anatase titanium dioxide at competitive prices will likely gain a significant advantage in the market. Additionally, the development of new technologies for producing titanium dioxide, such as using biomass as a raw material or implementing more sustainable production methods, could further differentiate suppliers and drive innovation in the industry.
