IRON OXIDE-CONTAINING TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND COMPOSITION CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an iron oxide-containing titanium dioxide having adequate covering powder, ultraviolet shielding ability and dispersibility and capable of obtaining natural finishing by providing a specific particle diameter, surface area and particle distribution. SOLUTION: This iron oxide-containing titanium dioxide is prepared to have an average particle diameter of >0.10μm to <=0.14μm and a specific surface area of 10-30m<2> /g and >=70wt.% of total particle has the average particle diameter of±0.03μm. The iron oxide-containing titanium dioxide preferably contains 97.0-99.5wt.% titanium dioxide and 0.5-3.0wt.% iron oxide. The iron oxide- containing titanium dioxide gives natural finishing and covering power when blended in cosmetics.
