LITHOPONE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lithopone is a white pigment composed of a mixture of barium sulfate (BaSO₄) and zinc sulfide (ZnS), used in various industrial and consumer applications. It is employed as a pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, and printing inks due to its excellent opacity and brightness. Lithopone is also used in the production of paper, rubber, and as a filler in certain products. Despite its utility, lithopone can cause skin and eye irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary to prevent exposure and accidents.
