Titanium Dioxide, probably the most widely used nanomaterial is a white, opaque, naturally occurring mineral existing in a number of crystalline forms, the most important of which are rutile and anatase.
Titanium Dioxide is odorless and absorbent. Its most important function in powder form is as a widely used pigment for leading whiteness and opacity.
Uses and Application-
Titanium Dioxide provides opacity & durability, to ensure the longevity of the paint & protection of the paint surface.
It helps to minimize the bitterness, fading, and cracking that occurs in plastics and other materials as a result of light exposure.
It is used in cosmetics to aid in hiding blemishes and brightening the skin.
It is used in the paper industry to make it more white, bright, and opaque.
The opacity to visible and ultraviolet light offered by Titanium Dioxide protects food, beverages, supplements, and pharmaceuticals from pre-mature degradation, enhancing the longevity of the product.
