Food safety experts in the European Union (EU) have recently updated their safety assessment of TiO2 as a food additive. In Europe, TiO2 is referred to as E171, in accordance with European labelling requirements for food additives. The EU expert panel took into account toxicity studies of TiO2 nanoparticles, which to this point had not been considered relevant to the safety assessment of TiO2 as a food additive.
Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder’s 2 main components:
Once the TiO2 is ready, it is meticulously blended with the concrete mix in precise proportions. The exact ratio depends on the desired properties of the final product, such as strength, color intensity, and UV resistance. The mixing process is critical, ensuring a uniform distribution of TiO2 throughout the concrete to achieve consistent performance and appearance.In terms of refractive index and opacity, lithopone surpasses zinc oxide and lead oxide. Lithopone's high refractive index allows it to efficiently scatter and reflect light, thereby increasing the opacity of various media. Whether you need to enhance the opacity of paints, inks or plastics, lithopones deliver outstanding results, ensuring your final product is completely opaque.
According to the EFSA's Expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavorings 2021 opinion regarding titanium dioxide, it could not rule out a concern for genotoxicity from ingestion of the material based on a perceived gap in data on this risk, which serves as the basis for current ban, said a March report on the decision.
