  • Rutile titanium dioxideThis week, the domestic rutile titanium dioxide mainstream negotiation interval is stable, and the overall market center of gravity is up. As of the close of this week, the average price of the weekly rutile titanium dioxide national market assessment was 16,558 yuan/ton, up 288 yuan/ton from the average price last week, an increase of 1.77%, and the increase narrowed by 0.03 percentage points from last week. Within the week, the new single negotiation interval is still referred to 16000-17200 yuan/ton interval (different brands of rutile products). This week, the new single stable price of titanium dioxide factory, most of the early orders of the factory are sufficient, the downstream holiday one week before the festival, the new orders in the market are reduced, and the trading atmosphere is light.This week, the domestic industry started load of 76.92%, more stable than the previous period. Domestic manufacturers maintain normal production rhythm, industry output is relatively stable; From the inventory point of view, the mainstream factory inventory days are still less than 10-15 days, the mainstream manufacturers are in short supply, and the factories rush to deliver pre-holiday orders. In terms of orders, large manufacturers receive orders relatively better than small and medium-sized manufacturers.This week, some downstream stocks according to their own dosage, and the pace of transactions has slowed down. The holiday is approaching, some downstream have supplementary double section period just need to prepare goods, transaction link batch orders are less; In terms of external demand, according to Zhuo Chuang information, the price of new external demand also has some just need to order access, and the feedback of the production enterprise is that the current mainstream rutile titanium dioxide export new single transaction is more than reference in 2400-2500 US dollars/ton, and the quotation reference is more than 2500 US dollars/ton.

    In a study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2020, researchers examined the effects of food additives titanium dioxide and silica on the intestinal tract by grouping and feeding mice three different food-grade particles — micro-TiO2, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2.  With all three groups, researchers observed changes in the gut microbiota, particularly mucus-associated bacteria. Furthermore, all three groups experienced inflammatory damage to the intestine, but the nano-TiO2 displayed the most pronounced changes. The researchers wrote: “Our results suggest that the toxic effects on the intestine were due to reduced intestinal mucus barrier function and an increase in metabolite lipopolysaccharides which activated the expression of inflammatory factors downstream. In mice exposed to nano-TiO2, the intestinal PKC/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. These findings will raise awareness of toxicities associated with the use of food-grade TiO2 and SiO2.”
