This article discusses the discovery of phosphorescent lithopone on watercolor drawings by American artist John La Farge dated between 1890 and 1905 and the history of lithopone in the pigment industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite having many desirable qualities for use in white watercolor or oil paints, the development of lithopone as an artists’ pigment was hampered by its tendency to darken in sunlight. Its availability to, and adoption by, artists remain unclear, as colormen's trade catalogs were generally not explicit in describing white pigments as containing lithopone. Further, lithopone may be mistaken for lead white during visual examination and its short-lived phosphorescence can be easily missed by the uninformed observer. Phosphorescent lithopone has been documented on only one other work-to-date: a watercolor by Van Gogh. In addition to the history of lithopone's manufacture, the article details the mechanism for its phosphorescence and its identification aided by Raman spectroscopy and spectrofluorimetry.

Lithopone 30% applied in masterbatch has maximum purity, good opacity and reasonable light fastness.  

Furthermore, the factory's investment in research and development allows it to stay ahead of the curve in terms of innovation. By continuously exploring new possibilities and improving its processes, CAS 13463-67-7 is able to offer cutting-edge titanium dioxide products that meet the evolving needs of the market.

Titanium dioxide is the most widely used whitening pigment in the world and has been linked to adverse health effects, particularly genotoxicity and intestinal inflammation. It is applied as food coloring and a whitening agent to a wide variety of foods, including chewing gum, cakes, candies, breads and ice cream. 

Titanium dioxide is a food additive that can be found in over 3,000 different products in EWG’s Food Scores database.

Titanium dioxide is a mineral that’s used as a white coloring in a variety of products, including sunscreens, cosmetics, paints, and plastics. The pigment grade is also known as titanium white, pigment white 6, or CI 77891; it's the whitest and brightest of all known pigments.

The vitaminB2@TiO₂NPs were obtained at room temperature, by a method developed after trying several ratios of reactants. Briefly, 0.02 g of P25TiO₂NPs were dispersed in 1 mL of ultra-pure water and stirred in a Vortex. Next, 200 μl of vitamin B2 dissolved in ultra-pure water (5.3 × 10⁻³ M) were added to 200 μL of P25TiO2NPs and the mixture was ultrasonicated for 1 hour to achieve a deep-yellow homogeneous suspension. The pellet obtained after centrifuging the suspension for 10 min at 4500 rpm was resuspended in ultrapure water, centrifuged again, and then lyophilized.

Plus, titanium dioxide is chemically inert, meaning it won't react with other substances in the paint. This stability ensures that the paint retains its original color and properties over time, preventing discolouration and degradation. Using titanium dioxide as an ingredient, the paint can withstand harsh weather conditions and prevent flaking, peeling or chalking. This exceptional durability makes it ideal for interior and exterior walls, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful finish.
