pigment lithopone factories

The properties of lithopone are very suitable for use in the production of coatings. Because the ingredients of lithopone are zinc sulfide and barium sulfate, and the more zinc sulfide content, the stronger its covering power. This indicates a paint product with strong white covering power. It is different from water in that it reacts with acid but does not react with alkali. It has a wide range of uses. Because its structural properties are similar to titanium dioxide and its price is relatively cheap, it can also be used as a substitute for some titanium dioxide. Lithopone can be used for coloring paints, inks, pigments, rubber, paper, leather, enamel, etc.

 At present, Lide powder is mainly produced in China. Most of the domestic Lide powder production is still using traditional methods. The main raw materials are zinc oxide, sulfuric acid and barium sulfide (barite and coal are produced by high temperature reduction). Zinc 45% ~ 70%. The traditional method for producing the Liede powder process is to use zinc bakelite containing more than 45% zinc as a raw material to be leached with sulfuric acid to obtain a crude zinc sulfate solution, and then to remove iron by potassium permanganate, and then replace the heavy metal with zinc powder and filter to obtain zinc sulfate. The refined liquid is further subjected to metathesis reaction, pressure filtration, calcination, rinsing, drying, and pulverization with strontium sulfide to obtain a series of different types of lindose powder containing zinc sulfide of 30% or more. The whole process is carried out in an acidic (ra<7) environment, which consumes a large amount of sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid has strong corrosiveness and requires high production equipment. The final discharged slag is acidic slag, which brings new pollution to the environment. High requirements, high production costs, and poor quality of the products obtained.

Additionally, market demand plays a significant role in determining lithopone pigment prices. Industries such as construction, automotive, and consumer goods have been experiencing fluctuations in demand, influencing the pricing dynamics. In periods of high demand, prices may increase as suppliers adjust to the market trends. Conversely, during downturns or oversupply situations, prices may decrease, providing opportunities for buyers to purchase at more favorable rates.

Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder is also called C.I. 77115; Pigment White 5; Barium zinc sulfate sulfide and belongs to Product Categories of Inorganic & organic chemicals; uvcbs-inorganic. Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder is used in water-based paints because of its excellent alkali resistance. It is widely utilized as a whitener and reinforcing agent for rubber and as a filler and whitener for paper. Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder is considered to be poisonous because it is able to liberate hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition by heat, moisture, and acids. When heated to decomposition Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder emits highly toxic fumes of SOx, ZnO, and H2S.
