Currently, titanium dioxide as a food additive is classified as GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe.”
Zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a popular cross-linking agent for rubber and for various resins. It is essential in the formulation of solvent-borne polychloroprene adhesives. Furthermore, zinc oxide is a good UV stabilizer, has biocidal activity and has a relatively high refractive index (2.0) which makes it an efficient white pigment. Some typical properties are: density 5.6 g/cm3; particle size 0.036-3 μm; oil absorption 10–20 g/100 g; specific surface area 10–45 m2/g. Zinc oxide is produced by reaction of the metal in the vapour state with oxygen. Zinc oxide is nonporous and is quite pure. Thus, the high surface area of some grades is due to the small particle size of zinc oxide. Some grades, especially for use in the rubber industry, are surface modified by deposition of 0.2-0.4% of stearic acid, propionic acid, or light oil [47].

According to the feedback of the manufacturers, the new mainstream factory has risen, and the focus of the overall market transaction has moved up. From the perspective of demand side, the current overall intention of the terminal to replenish inventory before the holiday is OK; From the supply side, some mainstream manufacturers have increased the load, and the actual output of the industry is stable. Most factories report a new price of around 17,000 yuan/ton, and some plastics and papermaking related downstream feedback some tight models are more expensive. Recent titanium dioxide raw material price trend is strong, titanium dioxide price support is more stable, comprehensive market factors, the current titanium dioxide market to maintain a price state.
