titanium dioxide in coatings

In the vast and intricate landscape of materials science, conductive titanium dioxide stands out for its unique properties that bridge the gap between electrical conductivity and chemical stability. This remarkable compound has found applications in a myriad of industries, from photocatalysis to electronic devices. As demand surges, understanding how to navigate the complex world of conductive titanium dioxide suppliers becomes crucial for both researchers and industrialists alike.

JECFA previously assessed titanium dioxide at its 13th meeting, at which time the expert committee assigned a “not specified” ADI for the additive due to an absence of significant absorption and a lack of toxicological effects in the available experimental animal and human studies. Since its original evaluation by JECFA, titanium dioxide has become a public point of contention, with its ban being introduced (and then subsequently withdrawn) in California legislation in 2023, a legal battle playing out in the EU over the additive’s ban and classification as a carcinogen in 2022, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) calling titanium dioxide unsafe. However, supporters of titanium dioxide say that claims about its dangers are founded in unreliable studies, and some recent research has supported its safety as a food additive.
