titanium dioxide lr 108

Anatase B101 titanium dioxide is particularly valued for its high photocatalytic activity, which makes it an ideal candidate for uses in air purification, water treatment, and self-cleaning surfaces. Its nanoparticle size and high surface area contribute to its efficiency in these processes. Moreover, anatase B101 exhibits excellent light stability and transparency to visible light, enhancing its suitability for photovoltaic applications and as a pigment.

In 2021, the European Food Safety Authority concluded that titanium dioxide is no longer safe in foods due to the same concerns over nanoparticles. As a result, titanium dioxide is now banned as a food additive in the EU. Although studies have shown that the absorption of ingested titanium dioxide is low, evidence suggests that titanium dioxide nanoparticles can accumulate in the body over time. Health Canada deemed it safe in 2022 but noted concerns. Unlike their European counterparts, Canadian officials did not consider studies performed with titanium dioxide nanoparticles alone.
