titanium dioxide used in medicine

The determination of sulphate in titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a crucial process for manufacturers to ensure the quality and purity of their products. Sulphate, if present in significant amounts, can affect the performance and color of TiO2, leading to potential issues in various applications such as coatings, plastics, and cosmetics. Therefore, accurate and reliable methods for detecting sulphate are essential for manufacturers to maintain high standards of product quality.

Lithopone, white powder, relative density: 4.136 ~ 4.39 g / mL, insoluble in water. It is a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. Inorganic white pigment, widely used in plastics such as polyolefin, vinyl resin, ABS resin, polystyrene, polycarbonate, nylon and polyoxymethylene, and white pigments of paints and inks. It is less effective in polyurethane and amino resins and less suitable in fluoroplastics. It is also used for coloring of rubber products, paper, varnish, tarpaulin, leather, watercolor paint, paper, enamel, and the like. Used as a binder in the production of electric beads.
