Safety Info

⚠️ Titanium Dioxide-Safety Information

General Toxicity

Titanium dioxide is considered low toxicity and is classified as inert and non-toxic when used in typical applications such as paints, food, and cosmetics.

Inhalation Hazard

Prolonged inhalation of fine TiO₂ dust (especially in nanoparticle form) may cause respiratory tract irritation or lung effects. It is classified by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) based on inhalation studies in rats at very high exposure levels. However, typical consumer exposure is much lower.

Skin Contact

Generally non-irritating to skin and is widely used in cosmetics and sunscreens

Eye Contact

May cause mild irritation if dust particles get into eyes.

FAQs

Studies generally show that TiO₂ nanoparticles in sunscreens do not penetrate healthy, intact skin but remain on the surface, making them safe for topical use.

Rutile has higher refractive index and better UV stability, making it preferred for pigments, while anatase has higher photocatalytic activity, useful in pollution control.

No, TiO₂ is an inorganic mineral and is not biodegradable, but it is chemically stable and environmentally inert under most conditions.

It usually ranges from 0.5% to 5% depending on the formulation requirements.

Yes, it’s used to enhance whiteness, opacity, and UV resistance in some polymer-based 3D printing materials.
