Easy Installation and Versatility

In a world where safety should always come first, the bathroom remains one of the most hazardous places in our homes. Wet floors can lead to slips and falls, which are particularly dangerous for children, the elderly, and anyone with mobility issues. One of the simplest and most effective solutions to mitigate these risks is the use of slip-resistant shower mats.

5. Low Maintenance Once installed, drainage mats require minimal maintenance. They are built to withstand outdoor elements, making them a long-lasting solution for managing drainage issues.

5. Versatile Use While often used in the kitchen, sink draining mats are versatile enough to be used in other areas of the home, such as bathrooms or laundry rooms, wherever there is a possibility of water spillage. Their adaptability makes them a worthwhile investment for any household.

Met een afmeting van 4x8 voet past deze mat perfect in de meeste standaard vrachtwagenbedden. Of u nu goederen vervoert voor uw bedrijf of gewoon extra bagage meeneemt tijdens een roadtrip, een rubberen vrachtwagenbedmat houdt uw vrachtwagen schoon en vrij van krassen en deuken. Het is ook eenvoudig te installeren gewoon uitrollen, en het is klaar voor gebruik. Bij veel modellen is een speciale anti-slip onderlaag inbegrepen, waardoor de mat stevig op zijn plaats blijft liggen, ongeacht de omstandigheden.

The FDA categorized titanium dioxide as “Generally Recognized as Safe,” but there are warnings about its potential dangers from other organizations.

The FDA continues to allow for the safe use of titanium dioxide as a color additive in foods generally according to the specifications and conditions, including that the quantity of titanium dioxide does not exceed 1% by weight of the food, the FDA said in a statement to USA TODAY.

The supply in North America remained adequate, as companies were seen constantly altering their production rates in response to the volatility in the demand pattern. In the final week of September, news of Chemours' forthcoming titanium dioxide factory in Georgia valued USD 86 million alleviated fears about supply strain.

While the FDA maintains that the regulated use of titanium dioxide is safe, the European Food Safety Authority and some other experts warn of potential, serious health risks.

On the other hand, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in their Final Administrative Order on Sunscreen Drug Products posted in September 2021 still accepts titanium dioxide up to 25% in the list of Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective (GRASE) in the main document, without further clarification on what kind or size of particles [9]. However, on page 24 (Sunscreen containing nanomaterials) FDA clearly “distinguish nanomaterials from other forms of these ingredients'' (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) and ask for comments on “any particular nanomaterials that you believe should not be permitted for use in OTC sunscreen products”. To the best of our knowledge, this Agency did not ban the use of nanoparticulate titanium dioxide in any form, even though it is mentioned on page 34 that the anatase form is the more photoactive one, due to the lack of evidence with real sunscreens OTC (over the counter) in vivo. Moreover, other regulations in Latin America (MERCOSUR agreement, 2006) do not state clearly their position on the use of nanoparticulate TiO₂NPs [10].

What is titanium dioxide? Why is it used in food products?

Because of the uncertainty of the impacts of nanoparticles, Made Safe exercises the precautionary principle, meaning we avoid nanoparticles until more extensive scientific testing proves their safety.

The European Food Safety Authority updated its safety assessment of the mineral in March 2020, stating that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive. This was due to evidence of potentially harmful effects after consumption of the mineral, which may accumulate in the body over time.

Studies suggest that people are more likely to buy and eat foods that are brighter or more vibrant in color. And titanium dioxide is one way to make that happen. You can find it in food products like candy, coffee creamer, baking and cake decorations, and white sauces.

As of August 7, the use of titanium dioxide in food is banned in the European Union. Europe is taking a precautionary principle approach based on findings from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Titanium dioxide has been used as a bleaching and opacifying agent in porcelain enamels, giving them brightness, hardness, and acid resistance. In modern times it is used in cosmetics, such as in skin care products and sunscreen lotions, with claims that titanium dioxide protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation because of its property to absorb ultraviolet light.
