Uses of TiO2
TiO2 is safe
TiO2 has been approved for use in Europe for a century, with studies repeatedly showing no harmful effects to the public or workers. TiO2 is one of the most versatile compounds in the world and is found in an extraordinarily diverse range of products and technologies we see and use every day, including paint, plastics, cosmetics, sunscreens, glass, and even catalytic converters. Its varied properties mean it can be used in many ways, for example as a vibrant white colourant, to protect from UV radiation, and to reduce pollution. If you want to read more click here.
