3. UV Protection Tires are constantly exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Titanium dioxide provides excellent UV protection, minimizing degradation caused by prolonged exposure. This property ensures that tires maintain their integrity and performance over time, leading to a longer lifespan.

Reasons for listing: Henan Billions Chemical Co., Ltd., a well-known brand of TiO2 factory, a famous trademark in Henan Province, a listed company, a drafting unit of national and industry standards, a high-tech enterprise, advocating the implementation of clean production, focusing on titanium and zirconium fine powder A large-scale inorganic fine chemical enterprise engaged in material R&D and manufacturing.

The Asian market was favorable to the rising price trends of titanium dioxide in the first quarters of 2023. The prices inclined gradually with some slight fluctuations. The positive outlook of the market was a direct effect of removing covid restrictions, upscaling industrial production, and high speed of market recovery.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of novel applications for Chinese anatase titanium dioxide, such as in the field of energy storage and conversion. For example, it has been investigated as a potential electrode material for lithium-ion batteries, due to its high conductivity and stability. Furthermore, its photocatalytic activity has been explored for use in dye-sensitized solar cells, where it can help to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion.

On the other hand, Westerhoff said, there are hundreds of studies showing no adverse effects from the substance.

In India, purchasers took a wait-and-see strategy because of the concerns about an unpredictable demand pattern following the second wave of the pandemic around the end of September. Whereas in China, producers were heard operating at optimal rates even though export orders were low in July.

Hemolysis was studied on suspensions of P25TiO₂NPs (0.2 mg/mL and 0.02 mg/mL), vitaminB2@P25TiO₂NPs (0.2 mg/mL and 0.02 mg/mL) and vitamin B2 (0.2 mg/mL and 0.02 mg/mL) were prepared and mixed with 500 μL of anticoagulated blood (donated by Laboratorio de Hemoderivados, UNC) in a rate of 1/10. A solution of NaCl 10% was used as the positive control and PBS as the negative control. Then, the samples were irradiated using the LED described above for 3 and 6 h to simulate the light penetration into the skin. Also, a set of samples was kept in the dark as control. Finally, the samples were centrifuged and the absorbance at 540 nm was measured in the supernatants. The experiment was reproduced twice; the standard deviation was calculated and p-value < 0.05 were considered significant.
