Moreover, the thin cool comforter is designed with durability in mind
- Despite the increasing competition in the lithopone market, factories in China continue to dominate the production of the pigment, benefiting from their extensive experience and expertise in the industry. The availability of raw materials, as well as the strategic location of these factories near major shipping ports, also contribute to their competitive advantage in the global market.
- Furthermore, the concept of green chemistry is gaining traction in the Chinese TiO2 industry. Companies are exploring eco-friendly production methods, such as using chloride-route technology that generates less wastewater and has a lower environmental impact compared to the traditional sulfate route.

The FDA is reviewing the safety of titanium dioxide in response to an April petition from EWG and other environmental and public health groups. This is the FDA’s first comprehensive review of titanium dioxide since 1973.
Research supports that applying titanium dioxide to the skin in the form of sunscreens, makeup, and other topical products does not pose any health risks.
Micronized titanium dioxide doesn’t penetrate skin so there’s no need to be concerned about it getting into your body. Even when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are used, the molecular size of the substance used to coat the nanoparticles is large enough to prevent them from penetrating beyond the uppermost layers of skin. This means you’re getting the sun protection titanium dioxide provides with no risk of it causing harm to skin or your body. The coating process improves application, enhances sun protection, and prevents the titanium dioxide from interacting with other ingredients in the presence of sunlight, thus enhancing its stability. It not only makes this ingredient much more pleasant to use for sunscreen, but also improves efficacy and eliminates safety concerns. Common examples of ingredients used to coat titanium dioxide are alumina, dimethicone, silica, and trimethoxy capryl silane.
- One of the key advantages of buying TiO2 directly from the manufacturer is that customers can benefit from lower prices compared to purchasing from distributors or retailers. By eliminating middlemen, we are able to offer factory prices that are significantly lower, thus providing cost savings for our customers.
Lithopone is a white pigment (PW5) co-precipitated from solutions of zinc and barium salts according to the following reaction:
