Storage incompatibility
Titanium dioxide
reacts with strong acids, strong oxidisers
reacts violently with aluminium, calcium, hydrazine, lithium (at around 200 deg C.), magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, especially at elevated temperatures
- these reactions involves reduction of the oxide and are accompanied by incandescence
dust or powders can ignite and then explode in a carbon dioxide atmosphere
