wholesale ti02 pigment

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined from the earth, processed and refined, and added to a variety of foods, as well as other consumer products. White in color, it is used to enhance the color and sheen of certain foods and is also key for food safety applications. In its natural state it exists in different bulk crystalline forms, such as anatase and rutile, but during processing it is ground into a very fine powder.

  • Recent analyses of food-grade TiO2 samples have found that a significant portion of particles may be within the nanoscale. These particles (also known as nanoparticles) range in size from 1 to 100 nm, where 1 nm equals 1 billionth of a metre (the width of a typical human hair is 80,000 to 100,000 nm).

  • EFSA's evaluation is related to the risks of TiO2 used as a food additive, not to other uses.

  • For CT scans, barium sulfate can be utilized to improve the clarity and detail of cross-sectional images. This is especially beneficial when examining areas where soft tissue contrast is minimal or when there is a need to distinguish between different types of tissue or foreign objects.
