lithopone for rubber factories

Prof Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), said: “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”.

In the pursuit of greener industrial practices, titanium dioxide (TiO2), commonly known as rutile, stands at the forefront of innovation. This versatile compound, often used in paints, sunscreens, and various other products, is now being manufactured with a keen eye on environmental impact. The best TiO2 factories are not only striving to reduce their carbon footprint but also aiming to provide eco-friendly prices that do not burden consumers or compromise quality.
