1. Enhanced Durability and Performance One of the critical benefits of incorporating titanium dioxide into tire formulations is its ability to improve overall durability. Tires containing TiO2 exhibit increased resistance to wear and tear, which is essential for vehicle performance and safety. Additionally, TiO2 contributes to reduced rolling resistance, which can enhance fuel efficiency in vehicles.

While the conclusions of the EU expert panel were considered in this report, Health Canada's Food Directorate conducted its own comprehensive review of the available science. This included evaluating new scientific data that addressed some of the uncertainties identified by the EU expert panel and were not available at the time of their review.    

Titanium dioxide is one of the most widely used white pigments, often used to add whiteness and brightness to products. It is used in the production of paints, coatings, plastics and other products to provide a white color or opacity.
