Pure Original Ingredients Titanium Dioxide (1 lb) Naturally Occurring, Pigment & Colorant

In prior posts, we’ve discussed the many routes we’re exposed to ingredients. In this post, we take a deeper look at the ingredient titanium dioxide to explore how exposure routes impact research and health outcomes.

Ilmenite is a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, sediments, and sedimentary rocks in many parts of the world. Apollo astronauts found abundant ilmenite in lunar rocks and the lunar regolith. Ilmenite is a black iron-titanium oxide with a chemical composition of FeTiO3. Ilmenite is the primary ore of titanium, a metal needed to make a variety of high-performance alloys. Most of the ilmenite mined worldwide is used to manufacture titanium dioxide, TiO2, an important pigment, whiting…

Titanium dioxide (chemical formula: TiO2) is practically everywhere. It forms naturally from titanium and oxygen in the ground, but the pure form you buy is mostly made in factories. If you look around and see something white and made by...

Coating a mesh net in titanium dioxide can help filter dirty fog molecules. Credit: ETH Zurich / Ritwick GhoshHarvesting water from fog isn't difficult, but cleaning it can be. This simple new metal lattice does just that. The post Titanium dioxide-coated mesh can purify contaminated fog appeared first on Popular Science.

Two types of sunblock exist. Both physical and chemical sunblocks are available. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are the physical type, meaning the sunblock is not absorbed by the skin’s surface, according to "The New York Times." When applied to the skin, these ingredients reflect light, much like a mirror.

Research from Nanchang University in China have revealed using titanium dioxide to whiten teeth could avoid the enamel-damaging effects of hydrogen peroxide, which is currently widely used.

Unfortunately concrete production is a major source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Now engineers at Purdue University have developed a new cement recipe that can absorb CO2 twice as fast as usual, hopefully turning it into a useful carbon sink.

Pigments and oxides are one of the most popular colorant options for cold process soap. They are non-bleeding and don’t morph in the high pH environment of freshly poured soap. Oxides come in a wide variety of hues, and are easy to mix to create unique colors. One of the most popular colorants is titanium dioxide, …
