A 2012 study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology noted that children are especially exposed to titanium dioxide because of the food that contains the food additive and is particularly marketed to children, including candy and cakes.

In the manufacturing industry, sometimes many products require coloring, and the ideal coloring material is lithopone. This is a product manufactured through chemical methods. It is a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. When the product contains more zinc sulfide, its effect will be better, that is, the coloring ability will be more stable. If you want to buy high-quality lithopone, you have to understand its properties and characteristics. Today’s article will give you a detailed understanding of lithopone.

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is by far the most suited white pigment to obtain whiteness and hiding power in coatings, inks and plastics. This is because it has an extremely high refractive index and it does not absorb visible light. TiO₂ is also readily available as particles with the right size (d ≈ 280 nm) and the right shape (more or less spherical) as well as with a variety of post-treatments.

However, the pigment is expensive, especially when the volume prices of systems are used. And, there always remains a need to develop a full-proof strategy to obtain the best results in terms of cost/performance ratio, scattering efficiency, dispersion… while using it in coating formulations. Are you searching for the same?

Explore the detailed knowledge of TiO₂ pigment, its scattering efficiency, optimization, selection, etc. to achieve the best possible white color strength and hiding power in your formulations.
