To address this environmental challenge, Chinese companies have been investing in research and development to improve the efficiency of TiO2 production methods and reduce their carbon footprint. For instance, the adoption of advanced technologies like the sulfate process, which has lower emissions compared to the chloride process, is being encouraged. Additionally, there is a growing focus on utilizing renewable energy sources to power these manufacturing plants.

Drobne et al. used the terrestrial arthropod Porcellio scaber as a test organism for determining the cytotoxic effect of TiO2 NPs (anatase). The animals were exposed to TiO2 NPs of two different sizes (25 nm and 75 nm) in the concentration range 10–1000 μg TiO2/g dry food for 3 to 14 days. No adverse effects, such as mortality, body weight changes or reduced feeding, were observed. In fact, quite the opposite, an enhanced feeding rate, food absorption efficiency and increase in catalase activity were observed. The intensity of these responses appeared to be time- but not dose-dependent. It should also be noted that the concentrations tested in this study were much higher than the predicted concentration (4.8 μg/g soil) at high emission scenario of nano-sized TiO2. Using the same test organism another group showed that exposure to TiO2 NPs induced destabilization of cell membrane in the epithelium of digestive glands isolated from exposed animals. They also showed that this effect can be observed after just 30 minutes of exposure.

Despite its numerous advantages, the use of titanium dioxide in paint manufacturing requires careful consideration of its cost and availability. The mining and processing of TiO2 can be resource-intensive, which affects the final price of the paint product. However, ongoing research and development in the industry aim to optimize production processes, reduce costs, and explore alternatives like nano-titanium dioxide to further enhance paint performance.

  • Oil Absorption
  • One of the key benefits of using anatase titanium dioxide in paints is its ability to provide superior hiding power. This means that even a small amount of the pigment can effectively cover a large surface area, resulting in a more vibrant and uniform color finish. In addition, anatase titanium dioxide has excellent light scattering properties, which helps to enhance the brightness and longevity of the paint color.
