Product Overview
Titanium Dioxide (Food Grade) is a high purity, white, odorless powder supplied by EZ Elements. Per the Certificate of Analysis for this product, it tests at 99.2% TiO2 assay, against a specification of 98.5% to 100.5%, and the batch has been confirmed to comply with E171, the European designation for titanium dioxide used as a food coloring agent.
Titanium Dioxide is valued as a white pigment for its exceptional opacity and brightness. In food and beverage formulation specifically, this Food Grade material is selected for its high purity and low heavy metal content, both of which are verified batch by batch through Certificate of Analysis testing.
Why It Is a Trusted Food Grade Pigment
- High assay purity. This batch tested at 99.2% TiO2, within a specification range of 98.5% to 100.5%.
- Confirmed E171 compliance. The batch Certificate of Analysis confirms this material complies with E171, the designation used for titanium dioxide permitted as a food coloring agent in food regulatory frameworks that recognize it.
- Low heavy metal content. Lead, arsenic, antimony, mercury, zinc, and cadmium were all tested well within specification on the most recent batch.
- Batch tested purity indicators. Loss on drying, loss on ignition, and water and acid soluble substance content were all confirmed within specification, supporting a consistent, well characterized material.
Key Features & Benefits
- High purity TiO2 assay, batch tested and confirmed against specification.
- Confirmed compliant with E171 on the most recent Certificate of Analysis.
- Low, batch tested heavy metal content across lead, arsenic, antimony, mercury, zinc, and cadmium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is this Titanium Dioxide grade used for?
This Food Grade material is used as a white coloring and opacifying agent in food and beverage applications, and its Certificate of Analysis confirms compliance with E171.
Q2: What does “complies with E171” mean?
E171 is the designation used for titanium dioxide permitted as a food coloring agent under regulatory frameworks that recognize this code. A Certificate of Analysis confirming compliance means the tested batch meets the purity and impurity limits associated with that designation.
Q3: Is this the same product as Titanium Dioxide used in paints or coatings?
No. Titanium Dioxide is supplied in different grades for different industries. This Food Grade material is distinct from industrial coatings grades, which are formulated and surface treated differently and are not intended for food or personal care use. Always confirm you are sourcing the grade appropriate to your application.
Q4: Does Titanium Dioxide dissolve in water?
No. The Certificate of Analysis confirms a low water-soluble substance content (0.25%), consistent with Titanium Dioxide’s general insolubility in water.
