titanium dioxide lr 108

In short, no, research demonstrates that E171 is safe when consumed in normal situations.

Moreover, how we're exposed to an ingredient matters significantly in terms of our health and potential toxicity.   

Research shows that inhaling titanium dioxide particles in significant quantities over time can cause adverse health outcomes. Unless you work in an industrial setting, inhaling substantial amounts of titanium dioxide is highly unlikely. 

Research supports that applying titanium dioxide to the skin in the form of sunscreens, makeup, and other topical products does not pose a health risk. 

Overwhelmingly, research that's relevant to human exposure shows us that E171 is safe when ingested normally through foods and drugs (1,2).

Again, other research suggests that E171 could cause harm; however, those research processes did not design their studies to model how people are exposed to E171. Research that adds E171 to drinking water, utilizes direct injections, or gives research animals E171 through a feeding apparatus is not replicating typical human exposure, which occurs through food and medicine consumption.

  • 2. Length and Diameter The size of the hose should match the requirements of the vehicle’s braking system. Longer hoses may introduce excess slack, while hoses with incompatible diameters can lead to reduced flow rates or increased pressure drops.


  • 4. Corrosion Resistance Many braided automotive hoses feature stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant materials, which can extend the life of the hose and enhance reliability. This is particularly valuable in vehicles that operate in corrosive environments, such as coastal areas where salt is present in the atmosphere.

  • 4. Curing The final stage in manufacturing involves curing, where the assembled hose undergoes a heating process. This step is essential for achieving the desired properties, such as elasticity and durability, by enabling the rubber to set into its final form.


  • When selecting a chemical resistant hose, several key factors must be considered. The first is the type of chemical being transported. Different chemicals can have varying levels of corrosivity, meaning a hose that works well with one substance might not be suitable for another. Manufacturers typically provide chemical compatibility charts that outline which hoses are suitable for particular chemicals, helping users make informed choices.

  • Conclusion


  • Vacuum hoses are primarily used during the evacuation process of HVAC systems. When a new system is installed or when repairs are made, it is crucial to remove any air and moisture trapped inside the refrigerant lines. Air and moisture can lead to various issues such as reduced efficiency, corrosion, and even compressor failure. By using a vacuum hose connected to a vacuum pump, technicians can create a negative pressure environment within the system, allowing for the removal of these contaminants.
