Ordering information
Please read the material safety data sheet (MSDS)
Lithopone is produced by simultaneous precipitation of zinc sulfate and barium sulfide. We offer Lithopone Silver Seal, a mixed pigment of 60% zinc sulfide and 40% barium sulfate. Lithopone was an important white pigment for painting purposes until the large-scale production of Titanium White. The opacitiy of Lithopone is good, although somewhat lower than that of Titanium White. Lithopone is not suitable for acidic media.
