Installing rutile TiO2 wallpaper is a breeze, thanks to its pre-pasted backing. This eliminates the need for messy glue and allows for quick and easy installation. Plus, it is removable, so if you ever decide to redecorate or change the layout of your room, you can easily remove the wallpaper without causing any damage to the wall.
But this is just the tip of the ice berg so many articles & studies are coming out challenging the safety of Titanium Dioxide in our food supply & personal care products.

A few non-dietary studies have reported adverse effects in the gastrointestinal tract of laboratory animals given food-grade TiO2. However, these same effects were not seen when the same or higher doses of food-grade TiO2 were administered in the animals' diet. Dietary studies best reflect how humans are exposed to TiO2 from food. Thus, the Food Directorate placed the most emphasis on the results of these studies in the state of the science report.
In conclusion, the role of lithopone in the paint industry cannot be overstated. Its unique properties make it a vital component in producing high-quality paints and coatings. As the market continues to evolve with a focus on sustainability and performance, lithopone suppliers are stepping up to meet these challenges through innovative production techniques and a commitment to quality. By partnering with these suppliers, paint manufacturers can ensure they are equipped with the best possible materials to create products that not only meet consumer expectations but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
Above 10%, 1 kg of TiO2 should be replaced by 1.3 kg of Lithopone 30%, reducing the amount of polymer accordingly.
Well asides from making you re-think that M & M addiction (chocolate coated in Titanium Dioxide…..anyone?!)
