wholesale lithopone 30% quotes

Sachtleben's journey into the world of TiO2 production began with a clear vision to manufacture high-performance pigments that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Their commitment to excellence is evident in the rigorous processes employed at their state-of-the-art facilities. Using cutting-edge technology, they have refined the traditional chloride process for producing TiO2, ensuring unparalleled purity and consistent color strength in their products.

  • Lithopone is an inorganic white pigment, obtained from co-precipitation of Zinc sulfide (ZnS) and Barium sulfate (BaSO4). As a white pigment, it acts as a cost-effective alternative for TiO2. Some of the properties of Lithopone include high brightness and performance under UV exposure. Lithopone requires less wetting agent to achieve optimum wetting of its surface. It is commercially graded on the basis of amount of ZnS. Its grades include 28%, 30%, and 60% ZnS. As a comparatively inexpensive white pigment, Lithopone is presently used in various paint formulations, road marking paints, jointing compounds, and putties.

  • 1. The process for preparing from solution, lithoponeof various grades and a soluble commercial byproduct preferably of sodium, which consists in preparing separate solutions of zinc sulfate and barium'sulfid, which solutions are mixed with each other and with that of a third salt adapted to enter into combination with a freed acid group from the firstnamed salts, the same being brought together in equivalent and calculated amounts to produce and precipitate lithopone of the desired percentage, and leave in solution the soluble by-product, substantially as described.
  • Food safety experts in the European Union (EU) have recently updated their safety assessment of TiO2 as a food additive. In Europe, TiO2 is referred to as E171, in accordance with European labelling requirements for food additives. The EU expert panel took into account toxicity studies of TiO2 nanoparticles, which to this point had not been considered relevant to the safety assessment of TiO2 as a food additive.  

  • Environmental concerns have also driven manufacturers to develop eco-friendly production processes, reducing waste and emissions while maintaining product efficacy. The pursuit of sustainable practices not only aligns with global environmental goals but also appeals to consumers seeking environmentally responsible products.
