wholesale lithopone for leather

The price list for lithopone pigment in China is influenced by several factors. Firstly, the availability and cost of raw materials, zinc sulfide and barium sulfate, have a direct impact on the final product pricing. Fluctuations in the global market for these minerals can lead to changes in the lithopone pigment prices. Secondly, production capacity and efficiency of Chinese manufacturers also play a crucial role. A high production capacity often results in more competitive pricing due to economies of scale.

A  2023 study published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists examined the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on important gut bacteria in mice. Their results showed “the growth inhibitory effects could be associated with cell membrane damage caused by titanium dioxide nanoparticles to the bacterial strains. Metabolomics analysis showed that TiO2 NPs caused alterations in multiple metabolic pathways of gut bacteria, such as tryptophan and arginine metabolism, which were demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating gut and host health.” The researchers also found that four different neuroprotective metabolites “were significantly reduced” in urine and in vitro bacteria and vivo urine samples. The researchers concluded: “Increasing evidence implies that the gut microbiome plays a profound role in regulating host metabolism. Our results illustrated that TiO2 NPs hindered the growth of four beneficial gut bacterial strains.”
