TiO2 is also known for its high refractive index, which means that it has the ability to bend and reflect light effectively. This property makes TiO2 an ideal pigment for enhancing the color and print quality of paper products. By using TiO2 in the paper manufacturing process, paper suppliers can achieve vibrant colors and sharp images that stand out on the page. This is particularly important for printed materials such as magazines, brochures, and packaging, where visual appeal is a key factor in attracting consumers.

JECFA previously assessed titanium dioxide at its 13th meeting, at which time the expert committee assigned a “not specified” ADI for the additive due to an absence of significant absorption and a lack of toxicological effects in the available experimental animal and human studies.
