Hard black galvanized iron wire is made of low carbon steel wire by wire drawing machine. Hard black galvanized iron wire is the first feature of high hardness, bright appearance. It is mainly used for welding clothes hanger, umbrella, metal mesh, basket, basket and other metal products. Soft black galvanized iron wire is made of low carbon steel wire after annealing and softening, and then cold drawing. Soft black galvanized iron wire is the first feature of good flexibility, slightly higher hardness, bright appearance. Mainly used for metal mesh weaving technology, welding net, process products of welding.

The wire mesh is composed of low carbon steel wire or medium carbon steel wire, high carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire. There are two kinds of manufacturing technology of steel wire mesh, one is the weaving method, the other is the welding connection, the formation of grid.

The future of TiO₂

Wholesale suppliers of anatase titanium dioxide offer a range of grades and forms to meet the specific needs of their customers. Whether it's a fine powder for easy dispersion in coatings or a more granular form for specialized applications, wholesale suppliers can provide the right product for the job.

Scientists analyzed research that examined how titanium dioxide nanoparticles interact with the brain for a 2015 review published in Nanoscale Research Letters. The researchers wrote: “Once the TiO2 NPs are translocated into the central nervous system through [certain] pathways, they may accumulate in the brain regions. For their slow elimination rates, those NPs could remain in the brain zones for a long period, and the Ti contents would gradually increase with repeated exposure.” After reviewing dozens of studies, the scientists concluded: “Long-term or chronic exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles could potentially lead to the gradually increased Ti contents in the brain, which may eventually induce impairments on the neurons and glial cells and lead to CNS dysfunction as a consequence.”

3. What is EFSA saying in its 2021 opinion on the safety of titanium dioxide as a food additive?

TiO2 itself was officially first named and created in a laboratory in the late 1800s. It wasn’t mass manufactured until the early 20th century, when it started to take over as a safer alternative to other white pigments.

In beauty and personal care products, the ingredient is listed with its colour index (CI) number ‘CI 77891’. When nano grade titanium dioxide is used in our sunscreens, this is referenced as ‘titanium dioxide’ [nano] in the ingredients list.

It has strong tinting and hiding power, is resistant to alkali and heat, but will decompose when exposed to acid and darken when exposed to light. It has poor weather resistance and is easy to powder, so it is not suitable for outdoor use. In recent years, it has only been used in low-grade products.
