TiO2 is a naturally occurring mineral used as a bright white pigment for paint, in the food industry as a coloring, in sunscreens and cosmetics, and in other industrial uses.

Other contaminants may affect product quality in various ways depending on the contaminant type and level.

Our products add important characteristics, such as water-blocking, water repellence, adhesion, color, and wear & UV-resistance to these and many other applications.

EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm).
