Titanium

Not a fluorochemical

Base materials. Also written titanium, titanium reinforced.

Titanium metal, in cookware and drinkware usually a thin layer or an alloying claim rather than a solid titanium body.

Titanium reinforced is a strength claim about a coating, not a replacement for one, and the coating it reinforces is frequently a fluoropolymer. A titanium claim beside a non-stick claim is the fluoropolymer question still open.

What the makers actually said

Of the 9 graded products whose materials record titanium alongside a coating or finish, 33.3% name no coating chemistry anywhere in their published materials. This is a count of what companies published. It is not a statement about what any product contains.

A further 38 products record titanium with no coating or finish at all, so there is nothing for a maker to have disclosed. They are outside the split above.

How those 47 products graded on our rubric

These are model-based estimates, not laboratory tests, scored on one public rubric. Read the spread against the categories underneath it rather than as a verdict on titanium in the abstract, because the rubric gives every category a baseline and a term concentrated in one category will carry that category’s spread with it.

Median grade 85 out of 100, across 6 categories.

Where titanium turns up

The 6 categories holding the most of it, out of 6. Each one links to the live ranking for that category, best graded first.

Best graded with titanium

One per category, best first, so the list is not five of the same thing.

Worst graded with titanium

One per category, worst first. A low grade here is usually something else on the product, not the term.

Decode a whole listing instead

A product usually names several of these at once, and the one that matters is rarely the one in the title. Paste the full materials line into the decoder and it will pick out every term it recognises, the most open-ended first.

Other base materials

Edition 2026-10-08, read from 11,337 graded products carrying a material string, and frozen at that date. A term is matched against the material and construction string recorded for each product, written from its published materials, specification and ingredient list rather than from a laboratory test. Products count under every term they match, so the totals across terms overlap. Found something wrong? Tell us.
