Having thus described the origin and uses of the pigment, we now come to the question, what is lithopone? It is, in short, a chemical compound usually consisting of 30.5 per cent zinc sulphide, 1.5 per cent zinc oxide and 68 per cent barium sulphate, but these proportions vary slightly in the different makes. Lithopone of this composition is sold as the highest grade, either as red seal or green seal, as it best suits the idea of the manufacturer. Many manufacturers, especially in Europe, sell and also export other brands under other seals, containing 24, 20, 18 and as little as 12 per cent of zinc sulphide with very small percentages of zinc oxide, the balance being usually barium sulphate, but sometimes certain portions of China clay or gypsum (calcium sulphate) or whiting (calcium carbonate). Such brands are not a chemical compound, but mechanical mixtures of the chemically compounded lithopone and the admixtures referred to.

One common method to determine sulfate as TiO2 involves gravimetric analysis. In this technique, a sample containing sulfate is treated with barium chloride, resulting in the precipitation of barium sulfate. The precipitate is then filtered, dried, and weighed. The weight of the barium sulfate precipitate correlates directly with the amount of sulfate originally present in the sample. To express this as TiO2, a conversion factor based on stoichiometry is applied. This method, while straightforward, can be time-consuming and subject to errors in filtration and drying.
