titanium dioxide dye

The products manufactured by the Products with Titanium Dioxide Factory are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and cosmetics. Their titanium dioxide pigments are known for their excellent dispersion and color properties, making them ideal for use in paints, coatings, inks, and plastics. The factory also produces titanium dioxide nanoparticles that are used in sunscreen and skincare products for their UV protection properties.

A  2023 study published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists examined the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on important gut bacteria in mice. Their results showed “the growth inhibitory effects could be associated with cell membrane damage caused by titanium dioxide nanoparticles to the bacterial strains. Metabolomics analysis showed that TiO2 NPs caused alterations in multiple metabolic pathways of gut bacteria, such as tryptophan and arginine metabolism, which were demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating gut and host health.” The researchers also found that four different neuroprotective metabolites “were significantly reduced” in urine and in vitro bacteria and vivo urine samples. The researchers concluded: “Increasing evidence implies that the gut microbiome plays a profound role in regulating host metabolism. Our results illustrated that TiO2 NPs hindered the growth of four beneficial gut bacterial strains.”
