To overcome this challenge, manufacturers use advanced technology and processes to monitor and control the buff percentage of their products. This may involve the use of sophisticated equipment to measure the coating thickness of titanium dioxide particles, as well as automated systems to adjust the level of coating as needed. By carefully controlling the buff percentage, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet the specifications of their customers and maintain a high level of quality and performance.

Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder, brilliant white pigment used in paints, inks, leather, paper, linoleum, and face powder. It was developed in the 1870s as a substitute or supplement for lead carbonate (white lead), to overcome its drawbacks of toxicity, poor weathering, and darkening in atmospheres that contain sulfur compounds. Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder is an insoluble mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide that precipitates upon mixing solutions of barium sulfide and zinc sulfate. The precipitate is recovered by filtration, then calcined (roasted) at temperatures above 600° C (1,112° F). Although Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder has been replaced in many applications by titanium dioxide, it is still widely used in a number of products, such as water paints.

In addition to its use as a pigment, titanium dioxide has emerged as a key player in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion due to its semiconducting properties. It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiativesr 5566 titanium dioxide. Furthermore, when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are incorporated into cement or concrete, they can endow self-cleaning properties to architectural surfaces by promoting the breakdown of pollutants like nitrogen oxides under UV light.
