Detergents
Titanium Dioxide
Formula:
TiO₂
GOST/CAS:
CAS 13463-67-7
Titanium dioxide (a highly effective white pigment-filler and opacifying agent) is a key chemical component used in the manufacturing of household and industrial cleaning products. It provides exceptional whiteness, opacity, and protects the finished goods from degradation caused by UV radiation. The product is a fine, dry white powder that is insoluble in water but easily dispersed in liquid and paste-like formulations when used alongside dispersants. Due to its high refractive index, titanium dioxide is indispensable for enhancing the premium visual appearance of both the products themselves and the surfaces being cleaned.
Applications
Laundry Powders and Dry Blends: Used as a powerful whitening component. It imparts an aesthetic, bright white color to laundry detergents, cleaning granules, and dry formulations for both automatic and manual washing, significantly boosting commercial appeal.
Liquid Detergents and Gels: Applied to create a stable, opaque (opacified) appearance in liquid hand soaps, shower gels, shampoos, and fabric softeners. It ensures a consistent and uniform texture without any optical defects.
Bar and Solid Soaps: Serves as the primary pigment for achieving a deep, pure white base in soap manufacturing. It effectively masks the natural yellowish or greyish tint of fatty raw materials, guaranteeing the immaculate appearance of the finished soap bar.
Industrial Cleaners and Pastes: Incorporated into the formulations of polishing pastes, cream cleansers for kitchens, and sanitary ware. Beyond its aesthetic function, the soft microparticles of titanium dioxide can act as a delicate, non-scratching abrasive.
Key Advantages
Exceptional Whitening Power: Possesses an extremely high refractive index, allowing manufacturers to achieve maximum whiteness and opacity even at minimal dosage rates within the formulation.
High Photochemical Stability: Protects polymers, surfactants (surfactants), and fragrances within the detergent from degradation and yellowing when exposed to sunlight, thereby extending the shelf life of the finished product on store shelves.
Chemical Inertness and Compatibility: Does not react with anionic, cationic, or non-ionic surfactants, acids, or alkalis. It fully retains its properties across a wide pH range and temperature scale.
Safety and Eco-Friendliness: A non-toxic, hypoallergenic component approved for use in cosmetics and personal care products. It is completely safe for the environment when standard disposal regulations are followed.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in dry, covered, and well-ventilated warehouses in tightly closed original packaging, away from strong-smelling substances and reactive chemicals.
- Avoid direct moisture contact and exposure to high humidity, as the powder is prone to caking and clumping when damp.
- Transportation is permitted by all types of covered transport in accordance with standard freight regulations. The product is non-hazardous (not classified under dangerous goods regulations).
- Shelf life — 2 years from the manufacturing date, provided the original packaging remains tightly sealed and undamaged.
