Generally considered non-toxic. Dust may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and respiratory tract. IARC Group 2B (possible carcinogen if inhaled as dust).
Rutile has a higher refractive index, meaning better hiding power (opacity) and UV resistance, ideal for paints. Anatase is whiter but less opaque, used in paper and fiber.
Food grade TiO2 (E171) has been widely used, though regulations vary by country. It is used to whiten candies, dairy products, and cake icing.
It acts as a physical UV blocker, reflecting and scattering both UVA and UVB rays, protecting the skin.
On the contrary, Rutile grade TiO2 absorbs UV light, protecting the polymer matrix from degradation (chalking) outdoors.
