UV Filter – TTO-V-4 (10 nm)

Ultrafine titanium dioxide for high-transparency UVB protection.
TTO-V-4 delivers excellent dispersibility and a safe, gentle profile for daily-use sun care products.

Ultrafine UV Filter for Sensitive, Transparent Sunscreen Formulations

TTO-V-4 is an ultrafine, rutile-type titanium dioxide UV filter with a primary particle size of 10 nm. Produced via wet process, it provides efficient UVB protection across the 290–320 nm range, while maintaining high transmittance in the visible spectrum – allowing for clear, lightweight sunscreen formulations.

Due to its low cohesiveness, TTO-V-4 disperses easily in the oil phase using a homogenizing mixer, enabling stable and smooth integration into modern sun care products. It features low photoactivity, low heavy metal content, and is ideal for clean-label and sensitive-skin applications.

NAGASE supplies TTO-V-4 globally for transparent, mild, and sustainable UV protection – with full formulation support and logistics capabilities.
