Most commonly used in candy, it can also be found in salad dressings, chewing gum, ice cream, frozen pizzas, drink and jello mixes and many other food categories. Titanium dioxide creates a smooth finish and adds shine and brightness to other colors.

The Role of Wholesale Titanium Dioxide in Tyre Production
MAGNESIUM
Titanium dioxide (TiO2). Titanium dioxide is the most common white pigment used today. As a pigment, titanium dioxide is unique because it combines both high colouring and high opacifying capacity. This is mainly due to its high refractive index (2.7). Furthermore, titanium dioxide is an excellent UV absorber (it is used in sun protective creams). Some typical properties are: density 3.3-4.25 g/cm3; pH of water suspension 3.5-10.5; particle size 8–300 nm; oil absorption 10–45 g/100 g; specific surface area 7–160 m2/g. Most titanium dioxide is produced from the rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (titanate of ferrous iron). Titanium dioxide can be obtained using different processes.

In addition, lithopone has a strong hiding power beyond zinc oxide. This means less lithopone will have greater coverage and masking power, saving you time and money. No need to worry about multiple coats or uneven finishes anymore - the hiding power of lithopone ensures a flawless, even look in a single application.


FDA’s response


Yet another study, this one published in 2006 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer said there was insufficient evidence to conclude that titanium dioxide causes cancer. However, the study also categorized the ingredient as a potential human carcinogen.
In addition to its outstanding properties, lithopone has excellent stability, weather resistance and chemical inertness. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, even under harsh environmental conditions. You can rely on lithopone to stand the test of time, maintaining its luster and performance for years to come.
A 2012 study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology noted that children are especially exposed to titanium dioxide because of the food that contains the food additive and is particularly marketed to children, including candy and cakes.
Does not work with hydrogen sulfide and alkaline solutions. It is easy to decompose in the presence of acid to produce hydrogen sulfide gas. It is easily oxidized in the air and deteriorates after moisture. Whiteness and hiding power are strong.
