When it comes to painting, there are many factors to consider. From choosing the right color to ensuring the durability and longevity of your paint, every decision counts. A key ingredient that plays a vital role in achieving the desired finish is titanium dioxide. This extraordinary white pigment revolutionized the paint industry, giving walls around the world unparalleled luster and durability.
Following the EU’s ban on E171, the FDA told the Guardian that, based on current evidence, titanium dioxide as a food additive is safe. “The available safety studies do not demonstrate safety concerns connected to the use of titanium dioxide as a color additive.”
French researchers studied how and where E171 nanoparticles enter the bloodstream, first studying the route through pigs and then in vitro with human buccal cells, for a 2023 study published in the journal Nanotoxicology. The research showed that the nanoparticles absorbed quickly through the mouth and then into the bloodstream, before damaging DNA and hindering cell regeneration.
