Overall, the precipitation of titanium dioxide is a complex process that requires careful control of various factors to achieve the desired product properties. By optimizing the precipitation percentage and carefully monitoring the precipitation process, manufacturers can produce high-quality titanium dioxide that meets the stringent requirements of their customers in the paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics industries.

One of the key advantages of using anatase titanium dioxide in coatings is its superior UV resistance. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications where coatings are exposed to sunlight and other environmental factors that can degrade the finish over time. Anatase titanium dioxide helps to protect the underlying surface from UV rays, preventing fading and deterioration.

TiO₂ has been well accepted in the food industry and can be found as the E171 additive in various food products, mainly for whitening and texture. It is present in some cottage and Mozzarella cheeses, horseradish cream and sauces, lemon curd, and in low-fat products such as skimmed milk and ice-cream. Even if the product is labelled as containing E171, no information is usually given about the quantity, particle size and particle structure. FDA claims that TiO₂ may be safely used as a colour additive for colouring foods in quantities up to 1 % by weight of the food. Interestingly, TiO₂ is frequently declared as a “natural colouring agent” and is therefore well accepted by consumers.

Lithopone is used in water-based paints because of its excellent alkali resistance. It is also used as a whitener and reinforcing agent for rubber and as a filler and whitener for paper.

In 2023, California and New York proposed banning several food additives that are banned in Europe but legal in the United States. Titanium dioxide was among the five proposed to be banned, but in September, the additive was removed from the list of additives from the California ban list.

Yesterday, some parts of the domestic rutile, anatase titanium dioxide new single price to maintain stability, titanium dioxide factory normal, more delivery of early orders, spot shipping pressure is small; And the buyer just needed to buy a few days ago. Downstream manufacturers are currently watching the latest execution price.The key factors affecting the current market price change1. Inventory: Low inventory of mainstream producers, mainly delivery of pre-contract orders, is expected today's spot inventory is still low, mainstream factories before the holiday spot tension.2. Mentality: the buyer has to prepare goods in advance, and the new order price is slightly less willing to purchase in bulk; Sellers due to the lack of inventory, manufacturers have no willingness to reduce the price of sales in the market of new orders just need to buy more.Trend: The load of titanium dioxide enterprises is stable, the willingness to ship at low prices is not strong, and the downstream buyer's early orders continue to digest, and the acceptance of the purchase before the holiday is acceptable. It is expected that the market of titanium dioxide just needs to be closed today, and it is concerned about the new execution price of the mainstream factory.

One of the most common worries about titanium dioxide is that it could be a cancer-causing agent. The link between cancer and titanium dioxide traces back to a 1985 study where rats were exposed to high levels of titanium dioxide for two years, causing lung cancer. However, not all experts are convinced by this study.

Titanium dioxide is a common pigment, and zinc oxide and magnesium oxide are common fillers in rubber base adhesives.
