Some Potential Uses of Titanium Dioxide

Sometime ago, we have talked about using titanium dioxide coated paint for medical device industry because it has the ability to kill bacteria and mold. Think about it farther, we can also coat the bed rails, tables, TV remote controls, and pens with titanium dioxide which are used very frequently in our daily life and easy to get effected by bacteria and mold. Currently, there are nearly 300,000 people die per year from Staph infections, we have to stop it. Luckily we get titanium dioxide which works great to protect against bacteria forming. There are many uses of titanium dioxide that have been applied, such as self-cleaning furniture, medical devices, clean rooms and even clean teeth.

Titanium dioxide could be used for pay phones, pens at public bank, paint of buses, car coatings, shopping carts in supermarket, etc. Titanium dioxide used to release the ionic bonding of debris, organic waste, bonding of dirt might be effective against the infectious problems in our public restrooms, schools, locker rooms and all the way through our society.

There are many people out there who never use a toilet seat in any business establishment that they go to. They can not be blamed because everyone does not want to catch any disease. But actually most businesses clean their restrooms often and it is relatively safe. But you would not know what really is not safe. Things like the pens in the banks or those little pens you use to sign your credit card or those little key pads you use to type in your passwords when you buy something. Do you know the reason why they are not clean? Well, the answer is obvious; they have more germs on them that a shopping cart is used all day with kids dribbling on the handles.

For this reason, we need to borrow some technology used in self-cleaning industry and titanium dioxide perfectly fits in since it can kill germs, bacteria and viruses. Why not use titanium dioxide coatings for all these pens at banks, stores and post office? Just imagine it, with the use of titanium dioxide coatings, the spread of flu, disease, viruses and germs will be prevented.

We must work on how to stop these staph infections and the huge amount of death caused each year. If we can not protect ourselves from this challenge, we will risk more lives and more expense of our people. In my opinion, some tiny things are really “terrorists” in our lives. We need to take action and use more titanium dioxide to fight against them.
