    Features & Benefits

    Product Highlights
    • The optimized particle-size distribution of Lithopone attained by means of co-precipitation and calcining permit the achievement of a high apparent density, which imparts to Lithopone its low resin requirement and its excellent rheological behavior.
    • The pigment’s low Mohs hardness produces low abrasion compared to TiO2.
    • Further outstanding properties of Lithopone are its high lightness, neutral white color and its diffuse reflectance in the near UV range.
    • Thanks to its rheological and optical properties, Lithopone offers both technical and economic advantages wherever organic and inorganic binder systems require a relatively high pigmentation for specific applications.
    • Lithopone has therefore traditionally been used in stoppers and putties, jointing compounds and sealing compounds, primers and undercoats and in road-marking paints.
    • The so-called “barrier effect” makes it possible to achieve good anti-corrosion protection in primers.
