EFSA has updated its safety assessment of the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171), following a request by the European Commission in March 2020.
Titanium dioxide prices in the Asian market skyrocketed due to high demand and limited stock availability. Prices in the Chinese market surged significantly, reaching 2875 USD /MT at the end of March, well above the USD 2015/MT level in January 2021.
Rutile titanium dioxide is known for its exceptional whiteness, high refractive index, and excellent durability under UV light. It is produced using various methods, but MBR9668 stands out due to its superior microstructure and unique surface treatment, which provide enhanced dispersion and stability in coatings. This makes it ideal for use in applications where long-lasting brightness and resistance to chalking and fading are crucial.
Dispersion in the polymer: optimum dispersion should produce a good distribution and separation of titanium dioxide particles in the formulation.
