Product Information

• Name: Titanium dioxide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Titanium dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula TiO2. It is a white pigment that has good light-fastness and weatherability, and it is insoluble in water. The particle size of titanium dioxide ranges from 10 nm to about 100 nm. Titanium dioxide can be produced by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride with water or ammonia gas at 750-1,000 °C. This chemical compound has been used for many purposes, including paint pigments, sunscreen products, toothpaste, cosmetics, plastics, photocatalyst components and wastewater treatment. Studies have shown that titanium dioxide particles are not genotoxic but may induce oxidative stress in skin cells. Although safe when used as a food additive or cosmetic ingredient, titanium dioxide can cause adverse effects on skin health when used in certain concentrations.
