Lithopone was developed in the 1870s as a substitute for lead carbonate (lead white), to overcome its drawbacks of toxicity and poor weathering resistance. Within a few years, titanium dioxide displaced lithopone to become the white pigment (PW6) par excellence in the industry and the world’s best-selling inorganic pigment. However, titanium is a product whose price is subject to large price variations due to product availability. These price increases affect the competitiveness of finished products, and so the search for an alternative to titanium dioxide has generated a variety of possibilities to optimise its use.
titanium dioxide dissolved in oil factories. When dissolved in oil, it can act as a self-cleaning agent, breaking down organic impurities and pollutants on contact with sunlight. This can be particularly advantageous in reducing the environmental impact of oil spills or leaks, as TiO2 can aid in the degradation of hydrocarbons.
