The melting point of titanium is approximately 1668 degrees Celsius 3034.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is not a polyester but rather a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Polyester, in contrast, typically refers to a category of polymers made from petroleum-derived ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. PLA stands out due to its eco-friendly credentials, being compostable under industrial conditions. However, both PLA and traditional petroleum-based polyesters share some similar properties, such as being moldable and durable, which often leads to confusion about their classification. While both materials are used in various applications ranging from packaging to textiles, their origins and environmental impact significantly differ.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is widely used in various industries, notably in food additives, paints, and sunscreens. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it is "possibly carcinogenic to humans" based on limited evidence from animal studies, but clear data on its carcinogenicity in humans are lacking. The concern primarily relates to inhalable powder forms rather than when it's in products consumed or applied to the skin. Regulatory bodies in many countries continue to deem titanium dioxide safe for use in consumer products, within specific limits. However, the classification signals the need for further research to fully understand its effects on human health, and suggests caution, particularly in occupational settings where inhalation exposure might occur.
According to the IARC. titanium dioxide is labeled as probably carcinogenic to humans due to research on rats exposed to high levels of the substance. However. there is currently no significant evidence that everyday products containing titanium dioxide. such as food and cosmetics. pose a cancer risk for humans. While some experts advise limiting exposure for workers in occupational settings with significant exposure. it is generally deemed safe for the general public.
