In addition to their strength and durability, heavy section tek screws are also easy to install
- Once the TiO2 is ready, it is meticulously blended with the concrete mix in precise proportions. The exact ratio depends on the desired properties of the final product, such as strength, color intensity, and UV resistance. The mixing process is critical, ensuring a uniform distribution of TiO2 throughout the concrete to achieve consistent performance and appearance.
- The journey into this factory is like stepping into a futuristic world where technology and nature coexist harmoniously. The air is crisp and clean, devoid of the usual pollutants one might associate with heavy industry. This is no accident; the factory has invested heavily in state-of-the-art pollution control systems that ensure emissions are minimized, while also recovering and recycling materials wherever possible.
- For instance, in the construction industry, titanium dioxide coatings are used on exterior surfaces to provide a protective barrier against weathering and UV radiation. This extends the lifespan of building materials such as cement, wood, and metals. Moreover, the bright white pigment of TiO2 can significantly improve the reflectivity of these surfaces, reducing heat absorption and potentially lowering cooling costs.
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles have also been found in human placentae and in infant meconium, indicating its ability to be transferred from mother to fetus.
In addition to its physical properties, titanium dioxide also has environmental benefits. As a non-toxic compound, it is safe to use in homes, offices and public places. Coatings formulated with titanium dioxide contain virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring minimal impact on indoor air quality and human health. Additionally, due to their long-lasting nature, titanium dioxide-infused paints can help create a more sustainable environment by reducing waste and the need for frequent repainting.
In its statement to USA TODAY, the FDA maintained that, in all post-approvals for food additives, our scientists continue to review relevant new information to determine whether there are safety questions and whether the use of such substance is no longer safe under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
- After blending, the mixture undergoes a calcination process, where it is heated to remove any moisture and improve its stability. The calcination temperature and duration vary depending on the specific requirements of the final product. Following this, the lithopone is cooled and then ground again to achieve the desired particle size distribution.
- At the heart of our facility lies a state-of-the-art production line that embodies precision and efficiency. The journey from raw ore to the final TiO2 product is a meticulously orchestrated sequence of beneficiation, calcination, and chlorination processes. Each step is finely tuned to ensure the highest purity and consistent particle size distribution—key attributes that define the performance of the end product.

Lithopone, C.I. Pigment White 5, is a mixture of inorganic compounds, widely used as a white pigment powder. It is composed of a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. These insoluble compounds blend well with organic compounds and confer opacity. It was made popular by the cheap production costs, greater coverage. Related white pigments include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide (zinc white), zinc sulfide, and white lead.[1]
Analyst Insight
The FDA's Code of Federal Regulations allows for the legal, regulated use of titanium dioxide in food products, under some restrictions.
Drivers
For years scientists have raised concerns about the potential toxicity of titanium dioxide.

④ Ink industry: titanium dioxide is also an indispensable white pigment in advanced ink. The ink containing titanium dioxide is durable and does not change color, has good surface wettability and is easy to disperse. The titanium dioxide used in the ink industry includes rutile and anatase.
Most notably, a European Food Safety Authority safety assessment published in May 2021 pointed to genotoxicity concerns, as suggested by previous research. Genotoxicity is the ability of chemicals to damage genetic information such as DNA, which may lead to cancer.


The global Lithopone market is highly consolidated and a major bulk of Lithopone is produced in China. Some of the major Lithopone producers include Anhui Union Titanium Enterprise Co. Ltd., Fengchen Group Co. Ltd., Henan Premtec Enterprise Corporation, Langfang Pairs Horses Chemical Co. Ltd., Natural Pigments Inc., Noah Technologies Corporation, Titanos Group, VB Technochemicals SA, Venator Materials PLC, and ZhengZhou Sino Chemical Products Co. Ltd.
