For a mini-review published in the journal Particle and Fibre Technology in 2021, scientists wanted to evaluate whether Ti02 particles contributed to the development and/or exacerbation of irritable bowel disease, and whether they altered the four elements of intestinal barrier function: the intestinal microbiota, the immune system, the mucus layer, and the epithelium. The breakdown of these four elements can contribute to autoimmune, neurological, inflammatory, infectious, and metabolic diseases. Following their review, the researchers concluded: “Data indicate that TiO2 is able to alter the four compartments of IBF and to induce a low-grade intestinal inflammation associated or not with pre-neoplastic lesions.”

Subsequently, barium sulfate, another crucial ingredient, is derived from barite, a naturally occurring mineral rich in barium. The barium sulfate is then mixed with the synthesized zinc sulfide in precise proportions to create the desired lithopone pigment. The mixture undergoes a series of processes, including grinding and classification, to achieve the required particle size distribution and enhance its performance characteristics.
