TiO2

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is a white, powdery substance commonly used as a pigment to provide whiteness and opacity in products like paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics. It is valued for its high brightness, durability, and safety. TiO₂ is made from titanium, a strong and corrosion-resistant metal. It reflects and scatters light effectively, making materials appear brighter. Aside from its coloring properties, TiO₂ also offers UV protection in sunscreens and skin creams. It is widely used across industries due to its stability and non-toxic nature, although ongoing discussions focus on its safety in certain forms and applications.
