wholesale tio2 white pigment

No acute effects of nano-sized TiO2 were observed in Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos. Exposure of rainbow trout to TiO2 NPs triggered lipid peroxidation, influence on the respiratory tract, disturbance in the metabolism of Cu and Zn, induction of intestinal erosion  and accumulation in kidney tissue. Linhua et al. exposed juvenile carp to 100 and 200 mg/ml of particles and TiO2 observed no mortality. However, the fish suffered from oxidative stress and pathological changes in gill and liver. In the infaunal species Arenicola marina, exposure to TiO2 NPs in sediment caused sub-lethal effects including decrease in casting rate and increase in cellular and DNA damage. Aggregated particles were visible in the lumen of the gut, but no uptake through the gut or the skin was observed.

Firstly, TiO2 is commonly used as a white pigment in plastic products. Its high refractive index and ability to scatter light across the visible spectrum provide excellent opacity and brightness to plastic materials. This makes it an essential component in producing white or light-colored plastics, such as packaging materials, household items, and toys. The addition of TiO2 not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of these products but also improves their overall quality by increasing their durability and resistance to UV radiation.

The production of lithopone is associated with several environmental concerns, including air and water pollution. Zinc sulfide ore mining can lead to soil erosion and habitat destruction, while sulfuric acid leaching and calcination processes can release pollutants into the air and water. To address these issues, many Chinese lithopone factories have implemented environmental protection measures such as wastewater treatment and emission reduction technologies.
