Parents today are more conscious than ever about what touches their child’s food. From avoiding plastic to choosing stainless steel, every decision is made keeping safety in mind. But when it comes to colourful plates and tableware for kids, many parents still assume that all colours are created the same. The truth is, there is a huge difference between traditional colouring methods and the technology used in safe, colorful plates.
This is exactly why we chose titanium as the foundation of our stunning rainbow finish. The colours you see on Wellthya products are not made using paint, dyes, or any surface chemicals. They come from pure titanium coating, a material trusted in medical implants, food applications, and aerospace engineering because of its exceptional safety and stability.
In this blog, we break down what titanium coating really is, why it is safer than paints and dyes, how it remains non-toxic, and how the science behind it makes non-toxic rainbow plates possible for your child.
What Is Titanium Coating in Simple Terms?
Titanium coating is a thin, highly stable metallic layer that binds tightly to the surface of stainless steel. This coating is applied using a specialised vacuum process called PVD coating. Unlike paint or dye, titanium does not sit on top of the steel as a chemical layer. Instead, it becomes part of the metal surface.
In simple words, a titanium coating is like adding protective armour to the steel. It is strong, it is food safe, and it does not chip or peel over time. This is why it is used in medical implants, surgical tools, and high-performance kitchenware.
The colours created through titanium coating are not artificial pigments. Instead, they are formed naturally through light reflection. This makes titanium one of the safest ways to create safe, colorful plates without compromising on purity.
Why Titanium Is Safer Than Paint, Dye, or Colour Chemicals?
Most colourful products in the market use surface coatings made of chemical pigments, paints, or varnishes. These layers may look attractive in the beginning, but they come with risks. Paint can chip, dyes can fade, and chemical coatings can leach when exposed to heat, oils, or acidic foods.
Titanium behaves completely differently.
1. Titanium Does Not Chip or Peel
Because it becomes part of the metal surface, it cannot flake off when children scrape spoons, tap the plate, or drop their bowls.
2. Titanium Does Not Leach Into Food
It is an inert material, meaning it does not react chemically with any food, whether it is hot dal, curd, lemon rice, or tomato-based sabzi.
3. Titanium Is Used in Medical Implants
The same material used inside human bodies is what we use on the surface of our plates. This shows how trusted the titanium coating safety really is.
4. Titanium Is Non Toxic and Hypoallergenic
It does not release harmful substances, does not irritate, or react with even the most sensitive skin or digestive systems.
This makes titanium the safest colour technology available for children’s tableware.
How Titanium Creates Colour Without Paint or Dye?
One of the most fascinating aspects of titanium coating is the way it creates colour. Unlike paint that uses pigments, titanium colours come from light itself.
Here is the science in a simple explanation.
-
A thin titanium layer is placed on the steel surface.
-
Light hits this layer and reflects in different wavelengths.
-
Each wavelength corresponds to a colour.
-
By controlling the thickness of the titanium layer, different colours appear.
This method is called “physical vapour deposition,” and it allows the steel to display a beautiful rainbow effect without using any artificial colouring agents. This is why Wellthya proudly says no paint, no dye. The colours on our plates come from science, not chemicals.
Why Titanium Coating Is Completely Non-Toxic?
Parents often worry about how colourful plates are made. The concerns are valid because many coloured products in the market are coated with lacquers or pigments that can react with heat or oils.
Titanium avoids every one of those risks.
1. Titanium Is Inert
“Inert” means it does not react chemically with food. Whether you serve hot sambhar, curd, lemon rice, or ghee-soaked roti, titanium remains absolutely stable.
2. Titanium Does Not Break Down Over Time
Plastics degrade, paint fades, but titanium remains strong, colourfast, and secure even after 20+ years of use.
3. Titanium Is Heat Resistant
It can withstand high temperatures without releasing any substances into the food.
4. Titanium Is Safe for Children
It is used in pacemakers, artificial joints, dental implants, and medical tools because the human body accepts it without any reaction.
This level of purity is what makes Wellthya’s non-toxic rainbow plates truly safe for daily family use.
Why We Chose Titanium for Wellthya’s Rainbow Collection?
At Wellthya, we wanted to create colourful tableware that feels joyful for children and absolutely trustworthy for parents. But colour should never come at the cost of safety. We refused to use paints, varnishes, or cheap coatings that can chip or leach.
Titanium allowed us to achieve:
1. Beautiful, Vibrant Colour Without Chemicals
The rainbow effect is created through the science of rainbow steel, not surface paint.
2. 100% Non-Toxic and Child-Safe Colouring
Titanium is one of the safest materials known to science.
3. No Risk of Chipping or Fading
The colour becomes part of the plate. Even after years of use, it stays bright.
4. Superior Durability for Everyday Indian Use
Titanium-coated steel can handle hot food, oily dishes, constant washing, and toddler playfulness.
5. Complete Peace of Mind for Parents
When your child eats from a Wellthya rainbow plate, you do not have to worry about chemicals, coating fragments, or toxins.
This is why titanium was the clear choice for creating safe, colorful plates that remain pure, beautiful, and long-lasting.
Closing Thoughts
Colour attracts children, but safety reassures parents. With titanium coating, Wellthya brings both together in a way no paint or dye ever could. The rainbow shades come from physics, not pigments. The coating is non-toxic, non-reactive, and medically trusted. And the plates remain strong, vibrant, and safe for everyday meals.
When you choose titanium-coated plates, you choose technology that respects your child’s health, your family’s safety, and the joy of colourful mealtimes.
Wellthya rainbow plates are proof that colour can be completely safe.
