A 50/50 cotton-polyester blend sheet combines the best of both worlds
As well as the fabric, the weave that your bed linen fabric is made with will also affect the feel. Fabrics are woven from threads or yarns. These can be woven together in different ways to change how your sheets feel. Sateen and Percale weaves are the top choice for good quality cotton bed linen.
- The demand for Titanium Dioxide is influenced by factors like global economic growth, construction activity, and the automotive and plastics industries. Regions with robust manufacturing sectors, such as Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, are significant consumers of TiO2. Suppliers must navigate these regional dynamics, adapting their strategies to meet local regulations and market preferences.

Lithopone is a mixed zinc sulfide-barium sulfate brilliant white pigment that contains about 30% zinc sulfide. The original light sensitiveness of this pigment has been mitigated by purification and by the addition of such agents as polythionates and cobalt sulfate.

Another challenge facing TiO2 industry suppliers is the increasing environmental regulations and sustainability requirements. The production of TiO2 can have environmental impacts, such as energy consumption and waste generation. Suppliers must invest in sustainable practices and technologies to minimize their environmental footprint and meet regulatory requirements.
Prof Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), said: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive . A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body”.

Magnesium occurs in seawater and in ores such as dolomite (CaCO 3 MgCO 3), magnesite (MgCO 3), and carnallite (MgCl 2 KCl 6H 2O).
The European region struggled with the rising inflation that caused energy prices to rise leading to higher production costs thereby, negatively impacting the prices of titanium dioxide. The transportation routes were further disrupted along with the uncertainties in the construction and automotive industries. In addition to this, the offtakes and purchasing behaviour of the end-user consumers also declined, fueling the declining price trendss for titanium dioxide.
