  • Additionally, the committee noted that the available data did not provide convincing evidence of genotoxicity for titanium dioxide as a food additive, but recognized the limitations in current methodologies with respect to the testing of poorly soluble particulate materials. Although there were uncertainties in the genotoxicity data, the experts took into account the fact that the additive was not carcinogenic in adequately conducted two-year studies in mice and rats at doses of up to 7,500 mg/kg BW per day for mice, and 2,500 mg/kg BW per day for rats, the highest doses tested. There was also no evidence of reproductive or developmental toxicity in studies in rats at doses up to 1,000 mg/kg BW per day, the highest doses tested.  

  • According to Procurement Resource, the prices of titanium dioxide are expected to showcase mixed sentiments. With trade and supply-chain normalization, the automotive and construction sectors are estimated to improve their global performance, thus affecting the prices positively.

  • Lithopone 30% CAS No. 1345-05-7 / Storage method

  • China, as the world's leading producer of titanium dioxide (TiO2), plays a significant role in the global chemical industry. Titanium dioxide, a widely used pigment due to its exceptional whitening and UV-blocking properties, is found in numerous products, from paints and plastics to cosmetics and food additives. However, its production and presence in water bodies have raised environmental concerns.
  • The pigment lithopone industry has undergone a significant transformation over the past century, with factories playing a crucial role in the production and distribution of this essential compound. Lithopone, a vital component in various industries such as paints, plastics, and printing inks, is a fine white powder consisting of a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. This article will explore the evolution of pigment lithopone factories, their impact on the global market, and future prospects.
