What is Titanium Dioxide?
Also known as titanium (IV) oxide, this compound is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium with the chemical formula TiO2. It appears as a white powder and is used in two-thirds of all pigments in the world.
This compound is found in the minerals rutile, anatase and brookite. Mainly sourced from Ilmenite ore, the ore is mixed with sulphuric acid which removes the iron oxide from Ilmenite.
Titanium dioxide is used in many day-to-day applications. It is even used in food colouring and has the E Number E171. However, it is classed as a potential carcinogen if its dust is inhaled, so caution should always be taken when handling this chemical.
What Is Titanium Dioxide Used For?
Titanium dioxide is a widely used substance in everyday applications and in foods, cosmetics, and science. Some examples of its use are:
- As a whitening agent, UV blocker and thickener used in sunscreen
- As a whitening agent for paint. Paint containing this compound is often referred to as Perfect White
- In pharmaceuticals to create white colour pigment in pill medication
- As an additive in food (E171), used to give food a white colour and flavouring
- As a photocatalyst
