PERSONAL SAFETY Health Hazards
In Du Pont tests, dusts of titanium dioxide produced a response in the lungs of rats comparable to the effects given by inert or nuisance dusts.
Titanium dioxide is regulated as an air contaminant by the U. S. Department of Labor (OSHA) under Title 29 CFR 1910.1000. OSHA has ruled that an employee's exposure to titanium dioxide in any eight-hour work shift of a forty-hour week shall not exceed a Time-Weighted Average of 15 mg/m3 in air?
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) classifies titanium dioxide as a nui sance dust and recommends a Threshold Limit Value, TLV, of 10 mg/m3 total dust or 5 mg/m3 respirable dust. Du Pont has elected to observe the ACGIH limit in han dling Ti-Pure R-100.
USES
Ti-Pure R-100 is a rutile pigment designed primarily for use in plastic systems. It is the neutral undertone counterpart to Ti-Pure R-101 and has the following properties in plastics:
Tinting strength Undertone Dispersibility in:
Plasticized vinyl Plasticizers Dry blending operations Melt compounding operations Flocculation resistance Weathering resistance
High Neutral
Good Fair Excellent Excellent Fair Fair
Ti-Pure R-100 is also used as a low binder demand, easy dispersing pigment in interior industrial and trade sales finishes.
