TiO2 comes in many different forms. However, only a few of these forms are considered food-grade (acceptable to be added to food). Many studies that raised concern about the safety of TiO2, including the concern for genotoxicity, used forms of TiO2 that are not considered acceptable for use in food and have different properties than food-grade TiO2. Other studies did use food-grade TiO2, but took steps to break the material down into smaller particles than what would normally be found in food.

Rutile, one of the two common natural forms of TiO2, possesses a tetragonal crystal structure that imparts it with superior chemical stability and excellent optical properties. Unlike its anatase counterpart, rutile TiO2 exhibits greater hardness and density, making it more resistant to discoloration and corrosion. This durability makes rutile particularly suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to environmental factors is inevitable.

Environmentally conscious manufacturers are also exploring ways to sustainably source or produce rutile TiO2. Advances in recycling and synthetic production methods aim to minimize the environmental footprint associated with extracting and processing this valuable pigment. By integrating these practices, manufacturers can market their latex paints not only based on performance but also on eco-friendliness, appealing to a broader consumer base concerned with sustainability.
