Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Due to the rapid rate of biodegradation and high water solubility of the organic degradation products, long-term exposure to the terrestrial environment is not expected and no further assessment has been made.

Titatanium dioxide has been shown to be non-biologically active in the environment

β€œThe available ecotoxicity data on titanium dioxide are primarily limited to acute aquatic toxicity studies. The acute aquatic LC,, of titanium dioxide in is reported to be >I000 mg/L based on water accommodated fraction (ECOTOX 2002). Based on the insoluble nature of titanium dioxide in water and the low acute toxicity of titanium dioxide to freshwater fish, there are no non-target aquatic species risk concerns resulting from the use of titanium dioxide as an inert ingredient. Based on the lack of absorption as well as no identified toxicological effects of concern in animal testing, there are also no risk concerns for non-target terrestrial organisms resulting from the use of titanium dioxide as an inert ingredient.”
