A  2023 study published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists examined the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on important gut bacteria in mice. Their results showed “the growth inhibitory effects could be associated with cell membrane damage caused by titanium dioxide nanoparticles to the bacterial strains. Metabolomics analysis showed that TiO2 NPs caused alterations in multiple metabolic pathways of gut bacteria, such as tryptophan and arginine metabolism, which were demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating gut and host health.” The researchers also found that four different neuroprotective metabolites “were significantly reduced” in urine and in vitro bacteria and vivo urine samples. The researchers concluded: “Increasing evidence implies that the gut microbiome plays a profound role in regulating host metabolism. Our results illustrated that TiO2 NPs hindered the growth of four beneficial gut bacterial strains.”

Beyond its cosmetic role, TiO2 also acts as a UV stabilizer. It shields the nitrile gloves from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, thereby increasing their longevity and maintaining their integrity under prolonged exposure. Moreover, it contributes to the gloves' opacity, preventing see-through and providing additional comfort and confidence to the wearer Moreover, it contributes to the gloves' opacity, preventing see-through and providing additional comfort and confidence to the wearer Moreover, it contributes to the gloves' opacity, preventing see-through and providing additional comfort and confidence to the wearer Moreover, it contributes to the gloves' opacity, preventing see-through and providing additional comfort and confidence to the wearertitanium dioxide for nitrile gloves factory.
