The manufacturers of Titanium Dioxide have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched the TDIC REACH consortium.
The Titanium Dioxide Industry Consortium (TDIC) will manage the EU REACH registration of titanium dioxide and related manufacturing process intermediates and will liaise with registrants of key raw materials in other consortia and SIEFs.
The substances covered by the TDIC consortium are:
| Substance | CAS Number | EC Number | Molecular Formula | Scope* |
| Titanium dioxide | 13463-67-7 | 236-675-5 | TiO2 | Substance |
| Titanium tetrachloride | 7550-45-0 | 231-441-9 | TiCl4 | Substance |
| Titanium oxide sulphate | 13825-74-6 | 237-523-0 | TiOSO4 | Substance |
| Dichloride titanium oxide | 13780-39-7 | 237-430-5 | TiOCl2 | Substance |
| Disodium titanate | 12034-34-3 | 234-802-9 | Na2TiO3 | Intermediate >1000t/a and substance 1-10t/a |
The TDIC REACH Consortium, which is managed by ReachCentrum, has been initially formed by members of the Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association (TDMA) which is a Sector Group of Cefic.
The TDIC consortium is open to any European and non-European companies manufacturing or importing in EU27 substances indicated above. The consortium works on registration dossiers for all substances indicated. Operational costs are shared equally among the members. For an appropriate fee the consortium will offer a Letter of Access to the registration dossiers being developed.
The Joint Submission EU REACH dossier, submitted by Venator Materials PLC (Venator (venatorcorp.com) as Lead Registrant (LR) on behalf of the TDIC consortium, has provided in its LR dossier for the various hazard classifications that may apply to TiO2 depending on the aerodynamic diameter as stipulated in the Classification, Packaging and Labeling Regulation Annex VI entry. All Uses continue to be supported by the LR dossier.
