Lithopone is rather nontoxic, due to the insolubility of its components. It has been used in medicine as a radiocontrast agent. Lithopone is allowed to be in contact with foodstuffs in the US and Europe.[1]
The applications in which it can be used are paints, inks, plastics, elastomers, paper, fillers, adhesives…
When choosing lithopone, you must choose a good brand and pay attention to its production date. Some people just don’t pay attention to this aspect and often pursue cheap prices. As a result, they buy products that are close to their expiration date and have not been stored for long. It is no longer usable. This is very important.
