The inception and evolution of lithopone can be traced back through various industries and diverse applications. Revered for its robust hiding power, this white pigment, also called sulfide of zinc white, has been an invaluable asset to industries requiring a durable and reliable white pigment. Lithopone was an economical and functional solution as an alternative to lead carbonate, which is prone to change, and zinc oxide, known for its brittleness.

The functions of lithopone in coatings: it is mainly used in water-soluble coatings (water-soluble coatings, wall coatings), blending paint as topcoat (with reasonable high paint adhesion, excellent circulation and long storage capacity), all kinds of methyl cellulose paint (can be applied to wooden furniture such as furniture and small toys) Alkali resistant coatings based on isopropyl titanate vulcanized rubber and polyurethane materials. Also because of its excellent paint adhesion, aging resistance, acid resistance and leveling, for the production of lacquered cloth color pigments look better. It can also be used in electrophoretic coating and optical guiding system software.
