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 Lithopone has mostly been replaced by titanium dioxide which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 paint, ink and
cosmetics as well as in a large range of applications in plastic
industry. It is used as a filler in paper, leather, and
linoleum.
Properties: White powder.
