lithopone for paint

The author thanks Marco Leona, Scientist-in-Charge of the Department of Scientific Research at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for conducting fluorescence spectrometry on Wheel of Fortune and a valuable discussion of the research, as well as Silvia Centeno, Research Scientist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who performed Raman analysis on the watercolors and also contributed her insight. The phenomenon of the phosphorescing lithopone was originally discovered during the author's fellowship in the Sherman Fairchild Center for the Conservation of Works on Paper, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The author thanks all her colleagues for their ideas and support during the research of this paper, and special thanks to Rachel Mustalish for her assistance in editing this work.

Lithopone pigments find extensive use in coatings, plastics, printing inks, and even cosmetics due to their excellent hiding power, light stability, and heat resistance. They serve as cost-effective alternatives to titanium dioxide, another widely used white pigment, while offering comparable performance qualities They serve as cost-effective alternatives to titanium dioxide, another widely used white pigment, while offering comparable performance qualities They serve as cost-effective alternatives to titanium dioxide, another widely used white pigment, while offering comparable performance qualities They serve as cost-effective alternatives to titanium dioxide, another widely used white pigment, while offering comparable performance qualitieslithopone pigments manufacturer.

In its 2016 opinion, the ANS Panel recommended new studies be carried out to fill the gaps on possible effects on the reproductive system, which could enable them to set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI ). Uncertainty around the characterisation of the material used as the food additive (E 171) was also highlighted, in particular with respect to particle size and particle size distribution of titanium dioxide used as E 171.
