lithopone msds quotes

The surge in demand for interior and exterior paints and use of plastic across various end-use industries drive the global Lithopone market. Lithopone white pigment is used in paints and coating systems that find applications in residential and industrial landscapes. Hence, as the construction & building sector flourishes, the demand for building and architectural materials such as paints and coatings will increase. This trend is conducive for the Lithopone market growth. In addition, white plastic materials are increasingly being used in consumer products. Developments in plastic forming technology is anticipated to indirectly boost plastic production, thus, increasing the demand for white pigments during the forecast period.

Unfortunately, we studied that all of the above methods are employed after machining or forming, and they require a long process chain and costly production types of equipment [2124]. Therefore, we proposed a titanium alloy implant preparation process that integrated with cutting and surface modification. The oxygen-rich atmosphere increases the partial pressure of oxygen in the oxidizing environment, and the heat generated during the cutting process increases the temperature and the rate of the oxidation. It uses the cutting heat and oxygen-rich atmosphere generated during the cutting process to form the oxide film (TiO2) to improve the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy. The experimental equipment is shown in Figure 2. Since the cutting temperature is the most important factor in the oxide film formation process, this paper carried out researches based on theoretical analysis and experimental investigation to acquire an ideal temperature range for the cutting process to achieve the oxide layer.

A  2023 study published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists examined the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on important gut bacteria in mice. Their results showed “the growth inhibitory effects could be associated with cell membrane damage caused by titanium dioxide nanoparticles to the bacterial strains. Metabolomics analysis showed that TiO2 NPs caused alterations in multiple metabolic pathways of gut bacteria, such as tryptophan and arginine metabolism, which were demonstrated to play crucial roles in regulating gut and host health.” The researchers also found that four different neuroprotective metabolites “were significantly reduced” in urine and in vitro bacteria and vivo urine samples. The researchers concluded: “Increasing evidence implies that the gut microbiome plays a profound role in regulating host metabolism. Our results illustrated that TiO2 NPs hindered the growth of four beneficial gut bacterial strains.”
