China’s government is working on its plan to eliminate outmoded capacities of TiO2 and strengthen environmental protection measurements. Small and middle-sized enterprises, with a production capacity under 50,000t/a, are the ones to suffer. They mostly get merged or need to withdraw from the market. Without their production capacity of about 500,000 tonnes yearly, the domestic output might shrink about 20%. This will enhance the power of listed companies in China immensely, which is one of the main reasons for the effort to go public.

In the plastic industry, titanium dioxide serves as a crucial ingredient in creating vibrant colors and improving UV resistance. By incorporating TiO2 into their products, manufacturers can produce durable plastics that withstand exposure to sunlight without fading or degrading. This makes titanium dioxide an indispensable component in the production of outdoor furniture, automotive parts, and other items that require weather resistance.

Titanium IV Oxide, commonly known as Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), is a highly valued compound with an array of applications across various industries due to its exceptional properties. It is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium, predominantly found in the mineral rutile, which is renowned for its high refractive index, excellent opacity, and strong UV resistance. This makes TiO2 a vital ingredient in products ranging from paints and coatings to cosmetics and sunscreen lotions.

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.
