Lithopone

Description:
Lithopone is a white pigment composed primarily of a mixture of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and barium sulfate (BaSO4). It is known for its excellent opacity, brightness, and durability, making it a popular choice in various applications, including paints, coatings, plastics, and paper. Lithopone is valued for its non-toxic nature compared to other white pigments, such as lead-based compounds, and it exhibits good resistance to ultraviolet light and weathering. The pigment is typically produced by precipitating zinc sulfide from a solution of zinc sulfate and barium sulfate, resulting in a fine, white powder. Lithopone's properties include high hiding power and good dispersibility, which contribute to its effectiveness in providing coverage and enhancing the aesthetic qualities of products. However, it may have lower tinting strength compared to titanium dioxide, another widely used white pigment. Overall, Lithopone serves as a versatile and environmentally friendly option in the pigment industry.
