Appearance: White powder
Application: Lithopone is a white pigment composed of a mixture of
barium sulfate (*8 - *0 %) and zinc sulfide (*8 - *0%) with trace
amounts of zinc oxide. It is produced by precipitation through
filtering, heating and quenching works. Lithopone has mostly been
replaced by titanium dioxide which is more durable, but it is much
cheaper. It is used as a base for lake pigment and used as a inert
pigment for rubber, printing ink, varnished cloth, tarpaulin,
paper, enamel, leather
