Plus, titanium dioxide is chemically inert, meaning it won't react with other substances in the paint. This stability ensures that the paint retains its original color and properties over time, preventing discolouration and degradation. Using titanium dioxide as an ingredient, the paint can withstand harsh weather conditions and prevent flaking, peeling or chalking. This exceptional durability makes it ideal for interior and exterior walls, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful finish.

Micronized titanium dioxide doesn’t penetrate skin so there’s no need to be concerned about it getting into your body. Even when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are used, the molecular size of the substance used to coat the nanoparticles is large enough to prevent them from penetrating beyond the uppermost layers of skin. This means you’re getting the sun protection titanium dioxide provides with no risk of it causing harm to skin or your body. The coating process improves application, enhances sun protection, and prevents the titanium dioxide from interacting with other ingredients in the presence of sunlight, thus enhancing its stability. It not only makes this ingredient much more pleasant to use for sunscreen, but also improves efficacy and eliminates safety concerns. Common examples of ingredients used to coat titanium dioxide are alumina, dimethicone, silica, and trimethoxy capryl silane.
