Titanium Dioxide – Specialized opacifying excipient, protecting active ingredients and optimizing capsule shells and tablets

1. General introduction to Titanium Dioxide

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is an indispensable coloring and opacifying excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. This is an advanced raw material specially designed to opacify capsule shells and tablet coatings, providing absolute protection for photo-sensitive active ingredients from degradation caused by UV and visible light.

The material is manufactured by reputable international standard pharmaceutical excipient and raw material manufacturers (such as Gangwal Healthcare / Nitika Pharmaceutical Specialities). With strict refining technology, Titanium Dioxide brings natural whiteness, perfect dispersion, and ensures the highest stability for capsule and tablet products.

2. Information on Titanium Dioxide raw material

• Material Name: Titanium Dioxide
• Material Group: Pharmaceutical Excipients / Opacifiers, colorants.
• Function: Opacifier, photoprotection for active ingredients, white colorant for film coatings and capsule shells.
• Chemical Composition: TiO2
• Form: Amorphous white powder, ultra-fine, odorless, tasteless.
• Solubility: Insoluble in water, organic solvents, and dilute acids; soluble in hot concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen fluoride.
• Quality Standards: Meets current international Pharmacopoeia standards (USP/Ph.Eur/BP).

The special material is strictly controlled for:

• Particle size: Ultra-fine and uniform, allowing for excellent dispersion in gelatin solutions or coating suspensions without causing sedimentation or clogging the spray gun.
• Purity: Strict control over heavy metal limits and impurities, ensuring absolute safety when used as an oral excipient.

3. Advantages of Titanium Dioxide raw material

• Outstanding opacification: Blocks the penetration of UV rays and visible light, helping to increase the shelf life and stability of photo-sensitive active ingredients inside the drug core.
• Excellent white colorant: Provides a bright, sharp, and uniform white color for the capsule shell or tablet film coating, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the product.
• High dispersion: The micro-particle structure helps the material easily homogenize into liquid excipients and coating suspensions without causing agglomeration or color spots.
• Reasonable cost - Stable supply: Supplied by leading partners from India, providing a high-quality excipient solution at a competitive cost for pharmaceutical plants.

4. Applications of Titanium Dioxide

In pharmaceuticals and health supplements (Core applications):

• Manufacturing soft and hard capsules: Used as an opacifier mixed directly into the gelatin mass, helping to mask the color of the inner active ingredients and protect light-sensitive substances (such as Vitamins, herbal extracts).
• Tablet film coating: The main component in film coating powder systems, giving tablets a uniform white color, smooth coating, and effective light blocking.

In cosmetics:

• Skin care products: Applied as a physical UV filter in sunscreens and as a colorant/covering agent in foundations and makeup cosmetics.
