What is Titanium Oxide (TiO2)?
Titanium dioxide, is the naturally-occurring oxide of titanium, or TiO2. Approved by the food testing laboratory of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), TiO2 is considered a safe substance and harmless to humans. It is commonly used in paint, food and cosmetics. Many studies have been published on the use of titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst for the remediation of organic compounds. After being illuminated, titanium dioxide produces hydroxyl radicals, which react with the organic matters in the air to form non-toxic inorganic matters. What is photocatalysis? Photocatalysis refers to the chemical reaction that occurs when light strikes a chemical compound that is light sensitive, such as titanium oxide. When light strikes titanium dioxide, a chemical reaction occurs in the immediate region and cause the breakdown of organic toxins, odors, and more. This reaction has many valuable results, several are listed below. EXTERIOR APPLICATION Applied by spray to the exterior
