1. Lithopone is used as an inert pigment in paints, inks and cosmetics.

Titanium is a metal element found naturally in the environment. When it's exposed to oxygen in the air, it forms titanium oxides that are contained in many minerals, sands, soils, and dusts.

Furthermore, Lomon's R996 grade titanium dioxide is manufactured using advanced production techniques to ensure consistency and quality in every batch. The company's state-of-the-art facilities and rigorous quality control measures guarantee that customers receive a reliable and high-performing product every time.

When manufacturers add titanium dioxide to foods and other ingestible products, it’s typically referred to as E171, which relates to food-grade purity.

Titanium dioxide prices climbed significantly in the European region during Q2 2021, owing to strong demand from the downstream sector. Major global suppliers indicated that they have seen a surge in its demand for primarily from Europe and Asia, despite a global supply constraint. Furthermore, a global player raised titanium dioxide costs in Europe by 200 USD /MT this quarter, effective Q3 2021.

In addition to its outstanding properties, lithopone has excellent stability, weather resistance and chemical inertness. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, even under harsh environmental conditions. You can rely on lithopone to stand the test of time, maintaining its luster and performance for years to come.

French researchers studied how and where E171 nanoparticles enter the bloodstream, first studying the route through pigs and then in vitro with human buccal cells, for a 2023 study published in the journal Nanotoxicology. The research showed that the nanoparticles absorbed quickly through the mouth and then into the bloodstream, before damaging DNA and hindering cell regeneration.
