china zns for paint and coating

No acute effects of nano-sized TiO2 were observed in Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos. Exposure of rainbow trout to TiO2 NPs triggered lipid peroxidation, influence on the respiratory tract, disturbance in the metabolism of Cu and Zn, induction of intestinal erosion  and accumulation in kidney tissue. Linhua et al. exposed juvenile carp to 100 and 200 mg/ml of particles and TiO2 observed no mortality. However, the fish suffered from oxidative stress and pathological changes in gill and liver. In the infaunal species Arenicola marina, exposure to TiO2 NPs in sediment caused sub-lethal effects including decrease in casting rate and increase in cellular and DNA damage. Aggregated particles were visible in the lumen of the gut, but no uptake through the gut or the skin was observed.

In conclusion, while both lithopone and titanium dioxide have their advantages and disadvantages, TiO2 appears to be the better choice for most applications. Its superior whiteness, UV protection properties, and chemical stability make it a popular choice in the paint, plastics, and paper industries. However, for applications where cost and safety are primary concerns, lithopone may still be a viable option. Ultimately, the choice between these two pigments will depend on the specific requirements of the application and the desired balance of performance and cost.
