Sections 1.3 and 1.4 are withheld here because the supplier and emergency contact blocks carry your own company details in the draft you buy. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
Measured values for Titanium dioxide, and where each one comes from
21 measured values for 7 properties, read from 4 public databases. On 3 properties the records differ. Each reading is shown with its own record. Follow any record to read the value at its source.
Boiling point
3 records, -3036 to -3000 °C
Used with vapour pressure to judge how readily the substance reaches the air you breathe.
- 2500-3000 °C
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- 4532-5432 °F
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
- 4532-5432 °F
- OSHA Occupational Chemical Database
Melting point
4 records, -1886 to 1855 °C
Fixes the physical state at handling temperature, which the label and the transport class depend on.
- 3326-3362 °F
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
- 3326-3362 °F
- OSHA Occupational Chemical Database
Vapour pressure
2 records agree
The higher it is, the faster the substance evaporates into the workplace air at room temperature.
- 0 mmHg (approx)
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
- 0 mmHg (approx)
- OSHA Occupational Chemical Database
Density
5 records differ
Needed to convert between mass and volume on the label, in transport papers and in a spill estimate.
- White, orthorhombic crystals; density: 4.17 g/cu cm /Titanium(IV)oxide (Brookite)/
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Solubility
5 records, each a different case
Determines spill behaviour, the right extinguishing media and the correct first-aid rinse.
- Insoluble in water
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Soluble in hot concentrated sulfuric acid; in hydrofluoric acid; insoluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or diluted sulfuric acid
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- INSOL IN ORG SOLVENTS
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- SOLUBLE IN ALKALI
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Insoluble
- NIOSH Pocket Guide
pH
1 record
Drives the skin and eye corrosion classification for solutions, alongside the corrosivity data.
- SUSPENSION IN WATER (1 IN 10) IS NEUTRAL TO LITMUS
- Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
Odour
1 record
Odour is a warning property only. Many substances are hazardous well below the concentration you can smell.
These are the public records read for Titanium dioxide, published here unchanged. Where two records disagree, the draft you buy states the value and names the record behind it, so a reviewer can see what was chosen. Every draft needs review by a competent person before it is issued.
