The whole welding process of galvanized steel wire mesh does not need special technological methods, good weldability. However, in a few cases, the welding process will present difficulties: the converter steel produced by the old smelting method has high nitrogen content and high impurity content, resulting in high cold brittleness, added aging sensitivity, lower quality of welded joints, and poor weldability.

Because they are afraid of rain, there is no need to say more about this, and the surface packaging is more afraid of sun, so it is not recommended to prevent outdoor exposure to sunlight, which will lead to the loss of the woven bag, resulting in the internal blade barbed wire exposed to affect the later use.

In general, the cost of hot dipping zinc is lower than that of other maintenance coatings. The reason is very simple. Other maintenance coatings, such as sand painting, are labor-intensive processes, whereas hot dipping zinc processes are highly mechanized and tightly controlled in-plant construction. Hot dip zinc coating can be visually and briefly tested for non-destructive coating thickness.

After a long time of use, it will not rust after the corrosion layer on the surface of the hot-dip galvanized barbed wire has problems, because the material inside the stainless steel barbed wire is the same as the material on the surface.

Therefore, the rust of galvanized black iron wire has a great relationship with storage. At the same time, after rust, it is also necessary to conduct reasonable post-processing to avoid affecting its use effect. Of course, when the black iron wire is galvanized, it is also necessary to ensure the thickness of the galvanized layer, so that it can also reduce the possibility of rust. Speaking of galvanized iron wire, perhaps many people think it is relatively rare, in fact, it is not.

Yes. According to the FDA and other regulatory agencies globally, “titanium dioxide may be safely used for coloring foods”. Titanium dioxide is safe to use, and the FDA provides strict guidance on how much can be used in food. The amount of food-grade titanium dioxide that is used is extremely small; the FDA has set a limit of 1 percent titanium dioxide for food. There is currently no indication of a health risk at this level of exposure through the diet.

The gravimetric determination of titanium dioxide is vital for several reasons. First and foremost, it ensures product consistency and quality, allowing manufacturers to produce coatings and plastics that meet industry standards. In industries where color consistency is crucial, such as paint production, maintaining a uniform concentration of TiO2 is essential to achieving the desired opacity and brightness.

By doing so, we achieve cost reduction, increased film strength and improved fungicidal and algaecidal properties. 

Prof. Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), wrote of the decision: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.”

French researchers studied how and where E171 nanoparticles enter the bloodstream, first studying the route through pigs and then in vitro with human buccal cells, for a 2023 study published in the journal Nanotoxicology. The research showed that the nanoparticles absorbed quickly through the mouth and then into the bloodstream, before damaging DNA and hindering cell regeneration.

History

Lithopone, C.I. Pigment White 5, is a mixture of inorganic compounds, widely used as a white pigment powder. It is composed of a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. These insoluble compounds blend well with organic compounds and confer opacity. It was made popular by the cheap production costs, greater coverage. Related white pigments include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide (zinc white), zinc sulfide, and white lead.

What exactly is titanium dioxide?

The applications in which it can be used are paints, inks, plastics, elastomers, paper, fillers, adhesives… 

In a study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2020, researchers examined the effects of food additives titanium dioxide and silica on the intestinal tract by grouping and feeding mice three different food-grade particles — micro-TiO2, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2.  With all three groups, researchers observed changes in the gut microbiota, particularly mucus-associated bacteria. Furthermore, all three groups experienced inflammatory damage to the intestine, but the nano-TiO2 displayed the most pronounced changes. The researchers wrote: “Our results suggest that the toxic effects on the intestine were due to reduced intestinal mucus barrier function and an increase in metabolite lipopolysaccharides which activated the expression of inflammatory factors downstream. In mice exposed to nano-TiO2, the intestinal PKC/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. These findings will raise awareness of toxicities associated with the use of food-grade TiO2 and SiO2.”

Moreover, the region of sourcing can also impact pricing. Suppliers in different geographical locations may offer varied prices due to differences in transportation costs, availability of raw materials, and local market conditions. Buyers must consider these regional variances when negotiating prices and establishing long-term relationships with suppliers. In many cases, sourcing from manufacturers that can produce high-quality lithopone pigments at competitive rates can lead to significant cost savings.

Aside from the attributes we mentioned above, titanium dioxide is known for its durability, which can create a pigment that’s extra long-lasting. On top of that, combined with other colors, titanium dioxide can instantly amplify color by providing intensity and brightness. That has made it particularly popular for foundation and lipstick formulas.

The chemical is also found in common household and industrial products such as paints, coatings, adhesives, paper, plastics and rubber, printing inks, coated fabrics and textiles, as well as ceramics.

ROS were detected through the colorimetric assay employing the nitro-blue tetrazolium salt (NBT salt) by reading the absorbance of the reduced blue molecule.

In summary, the Food Directorate's position is that there is no conclusive scientific evidence that the food additive TiO₂ is a concern for human health. This is based on a review of the available scientific data relevant to food uses of TiO₂. However, we will continue to monitor the emerging science on the safety of TiO₂ as a food additive and may revisit our position if new scientific information becomes available.

Other research suggests that E171 could cause harm; however, those research processes did not consider how people are typically exposed to E171. Research that adds E171 to drinking water, utilizes direct injections, or gives research animals E171 through a feeding apparatus is not replicating typical human exposure.
