  • Demand in the European region has been significantly boosted by higher offtakes in the furniture, building, and industrial sectors compared to Q2, after a boost in containment measures. DIY activities increased significantly as people engaged in more home renovation and building tasks during the extended period of lockdown. With the restart of Chinese shipments in the latter half of Q2 2020, supply has also remained plentiful.

  • Lithopone, a crucial ingredient in various industrial applications, is a white pigment primarily used in the production of paints, plastics, and printing inks. It is a mixture of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and barium sulfate (BaSO4), offering excellent. This article delves into the intricate manufacturing process of lithopone, highlighting the key steps and major manufacturers worldwide.

  • The global Lithopone market was valued at $169.8 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $218.6 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.30% from 2020 to 2027.

  • Résumé–Cet article traite de la découverte de lithopone phosphorescent sur des dessins à l'aquarelle, datés entre 1890 et 1905, de l'artiste Américain John La Farge et de l'histoire du lithopone dans l'industrie des pigments à la fin du 19e et au début du 20e siècle. Malgré de nombreuses qualités souhaitables pour une utilisation en tant que blanc dans les aquarelles et les peintures à l'huile, le développement du lithopone comme pigment pour artistes a été compliqué de par sa tendance à noircir lorsqu'il est exposé au soleil. Sa disponibilité et son usage par les artistes demeurent incertains parce que les catalogues des marchands de couleurs n'étaient généralement pas explicites à indiquer si les pigments blancs contenaient du lithopone. De plus, lors d'un examen visuel, le lithopone peut être confondu avec le blanc de plomb et sa phosphorescence de courte durée peut facilement être ignorée par l'observateur non averti. À ce jour, le lithopone phosphorescent a seulement été documenté sur une autre œuvre: une aquarelle de Van Gogh. En plus de l'histoire de la fabrication du lithopone, cet article décrit le mécanisme de sa phosphorescence et son identification à l'aide de la spectroscopie Raman et de la spectrofluorimétrie.

  • As awareness grows about the importance of preserving our planet, the demand for eco-conscious titanium dioxide continues to rise. Factories committed to producing TiO2 in the most environmentally friendly manner are not only meeting this demand but are also shaping the future of the industry. Their efforts demonstrate that it is possible to create high-quality, competitively priced products without sacrificing the health of our ecosystem.
  • Aside from its use in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper, TiO2 is also utilized in a variety of other industrial applications. It is commonly found in cosmetics, sunscreens, and food products, where it serves as a safe and effective whitening agent. TiO2 is also used in the production of ceramics, glass, and textiles, where it enhances their appearance, durability, and resistance to fading.


  • Titanium dioxide is also used in the production of ceramic glazes and dental implants. In ceramics, it helps to create a smooth and glossy finish, while in dental implants, it is used to create a biocompatible surface that promotes the growth of new tissue.
