Titanium, the ninth most common element in the Earth’s crust, is a metal commonly found in plants and animals. Titanium naturally interacts with oxygen to form titanium oxides, commonly found in ores, indigenous dusts, sands and soils.

Many people are familiar with titanium dioxide as an active ingredient in sunscreen. Titanium dioxide works as a UV filtering ingredient in sunscreen – it helps protect a person’s skin by blocking absorption of the sun’s ultraviolet light that can cause sunburn and is also linked to skin cancer
Titanium dioxide is a white pigment widely used in the production of paints, coatings, plastics and paper. Besides, industrial applications include the production of glass, electronics, cosmetics and other consumer goods.
Having non-toxic chemical properties and superior brightness and opacity, titanium dioxide is increasingly replacing other traditional pigments across different industries
