Both P25TiO₂NPs (with or without vitamin B2) were not found beyond the epidermis in 99% of the analyzed TEM images (Fig. 8). This is coherent with previous findings showing that nanoparticles greater than 50 nm can not penetrate the skin, even in vivo models with movement, stretching, and friction [54]. However, in one of the zones, a few nanoparticles were observed inside a hair follicle. This could be due to the follicle exposure after the localized rupture of this physical barrier when rats were shaved in order to clean the area for cream topical administration. This finding suggests that nanoparticle-based sunscreen should not be applied on recently shaved or harmed skin, in order to avoid nanoparticle skin penetration.

The paints and coatings industry reduced their offtakes which coupled with the drop in the crude oil prices and availability of cheaper imports from the Asian market led to the fall in titanium dioxide prices. The demand decreased significantly in the fourth quarter along with the slow manufacturing due to high inflation rates keeping the price trends of the commodity in the negative zone.

The analysis of the supernatant by UV–Vis spectrometry showed that each gram of P25TiO₂NP is loaded with 0.17 g of vitamin B2, after washing them. This value is coherent with the thermogram (Fig. 1), which showed a loss of 19% of weight, attributed to the thermal decomposition of vitamin B2.

The pricing of lithopone pigments can fluctuate based on several factors, including raw material costs, production processes, and market demand. Typically, wholesale prices reflect the bulk purchasing power, enabling businesses to acquire these materials at a lower cost per unit. Over the years, the market has seen fluctuations in prices due to changes in the supply chain and global economic conditions. It is crucial for buyers to stay informed about these trends to budget effectively and maintain profitability.

One of the main uses of TiO2 powder is as a pigment in paints and coatings. It is valued for its excellent opacity, brightness, and UV resistance, making it ideal for use in exterior paints, industrial coatings, and automotive finishes. TiO2 powder suppliers work closely with paint manufacturers to supply them with the right grade and quantity of TiO2 powder to meet their specific requirements.
