Questions about Titanium Dioxide 15 nm Liquid (Gloss) and Oil Compatibility
Question
Hello!
I have questions about the following ingredients:
- Titanium Dioxide 15 nm Liquid
- Cyclomethicone
- PEG-10 Dimethicone
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
My questions are:
- What would be the effects if Titanium Dioxide 15 nm Liquid is mixed with engine lubricating oil?
- If I specifically want Nano Titanium Dioxide particle 15 -30 nM to be mixed well with mineral oil without sedimentation, how should I do it?
- Do you accept custom blending of TiO2 + mineral oil, and what is the minimum quantity?
Thank you.

Answers to Your Questions about Titanium Dioxide 15 nm Liquid (Gloss)
Hello! Thank you for your questions regarding Titanium Dioxide 15 nm Liquid (Gloss) and related ingredients.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Mixing with Engine Lubricating Oil
The Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid (Gloss) is designed for cosmetic formulations, specifically for dispersion in oil or silicone bases used on skin. Engine lubricating oil is formulated for a completely different environment (high heat, pressure, specific lubrication needs) and contains different types of additives.
Mixing cosmetic ingredients like this Titanium Dioxide dispersion with engine oil is not recommended. It is highly likely to cause incompatibility issues, such as the Titanium Dioxide particles settling out of the oil, and the cosmetic base ingredients could interfere with the engine oil's performance or cause damage to engine components over time.
2. Dispersing Nano Titanium Dioxide (15-30nm) in Mineral Oil
The easiest way to achieve a good dispersion of nano Titanium Dioxide (15nm) in mineral oil with minimal sedimentation is to use a pre-dispersed product like Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid (Gloss). This product is already a liquid dispersion of 15nm Titanium Dioxide in a base that includes silicones and other components designed for easy mixing into oil or silicone phases.
To mix Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid (Gloss) with Mineral Oil, you can combine them and heat to around 70 degrees Celsius while stirring until fully dispersed. For higher concentrations or to improve long-term stability and prevent sedimentation, especially in low-viscosity mineral oil, you might consider using rheology modifiers or thickening agents compatible with oil phases, such as certain waxes or gel-forming agents designed for oil systems.
Other pre-dispersed nano Titanium Dioxide options in oil or silicone bases are also available, such as Titanium Dioxide Transparent (15nm, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate Base) or Titanium Dioxide Transparent (15nm, Cyclopentasiloxane Base).
3. Minimum Quantity for Custom Blending
