With the rise of nanotechnology, research in recent years has also shown the dangers of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, and their genotoxicity, which refers to a chemical agent’s ability to harm or damage DNA in cells, thus potentially causing cancer. 

Market Dynamics

The R996 grade titanium dioxide from Lomon is particularly well-suited for use in the paint industry due to its superior tinting strength and dispersibility. These properties allow paint manufacturers to achieve vibrant and consistent colors in their products, resulting in high-quality finishes for a variety of applications.

TiO2 is a white pigment that is commonly used in the production of paints, plastics, and paper. It is known for its brightness, opacity, and durability, making it an ideal choice for products that require a high level of whiteness and coverage. TiO2 is also used in sunscreen lotions and cosmetics to provide protection against harmful UV rays. In addition, TiO2 is used in the food industry as a food additive to enhance the appearance of products such as candies and confectionery.
