Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), a widely used compound across various industries due to its exceptional refractive index and high photocatalytic activity, is an essential component in sectors ranging from cosmetics to paints and coatings, food additives, and even solar panels. The wholesale TiO2 market plays a crucial role in ensuring a steady supply of this versatile material; however, with its extensive usage comes the responsibility of maintaining stringent safety measures.

Prof. Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), wrote of the decision: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.”

Titanium dioxide, often abbreviated as TiO2, is a widely utilized pigment in various industries due to its exceptional optical, chemical, and photocatalytic properties. A significant form of this versatile compound is precipitated titanium dioxide, which is produced through a controlled precipitation process, offering unique characteristics that cater to specific applications. This article delves into the world of precipitated titanium dioxide suppliers and their role in the global market.

Recently, Yanagisawa et al. reported that the transdermal exposure (mimicking skin-barrier dysfunction or defect) of NC/Nga mice to TiO2 NPs (15, 50, or 100 nm), in combination with allergen, aggravated atopic dermatitis-like lesions through a T-helper type 2 (Th2) dominant immune response. The study also indicated that TiO2 NPs can play a role in the initiation and/or progression of skin diseases, since histamine was released, even in the absence of allergen.
