Description of key information
Additional information
Titanium dioxide or Titanium(IV)oxide (TiO2, Molecular Weight 79.88) CAS no. 13463-67-7.
Natural titanium dioxide exists in nature in one of three crystalline forms, the two most important of which are anatase (CAS no. 1317-70-0) and rutile (CAS no. 1317-80-2), the third being brookite (12188-41-9). Rutile is the thermodynamically stable form of titanium dioxide; anatase rapidly transforms to rutile above 700°C.
Melting point: 1560°C (anatase), 1843°C (rutile), 1825°C (brookite)
Relative density: 3.9 (anatase), 4.26 (rutile), 4.17 (brookite)
The following definitions are applicable to the different titanium dioxide grades:
Pigmentary titanium dioxide is composed of primary particles with a mean particle size typically in the range 0.2 to 0.3 microns in diameter.
Nano titanium dioxide is composed of primary particles which are <100 nm in size. These primary particles naturally form aggregates and agglomerates which are above 100 nm.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
