Titanium Dioxide Raw Material Tio2 Powder
Sustainability concerns are at the forefront of industrial developments, and TIO2 aligns seamlessly with green initiatives. Though traditionally produced through mining, advancements in synthetic production have mitigated environmental impacts. Furthermore, the photocatalytic nature of TIO2 allows it to interact with sunlight and facilitate the breakdown of organic pollutants on painted surfaces, contributing to cleaner environments.
Moreover, nano titania can improve the mechanical strength and adhesion of coatings. By incorporating nano titania into coatings, manufacturers can enhance the toughness and adhesion of the coatings, resulting in improved performance and longevity.
After conducting a review of all the relevant available scientific evidence, EFSA concluded that a concern for genotoxicity of TiO2 particles cannot be ruled out. Based on this concern, EFSA’s experts no longer consider titanium dioxide safe when used as a food additive. This means that an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI ) cannot be established for E171.
Separately, concerns have been raised about titanium dioxide impacting one's genetic code. This can be traced to a 2009 study which found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles caused DNA damage and genetic instability in mice. A 2022 study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology also raised concerns about the DNA-damaging effects of titanium dioxide as a food additive. The study noted that results evidenced a DNA-damaging effect, and added that there may also be impacts to chromosomal integrity, an indicator of cancer risk.
