Historically, the first mentions of zinc sulfide being utilized as a pigment were approximately sixty years before the everyday use of lithopone. Originally, it was thought to be appropriate for coloring rubber. In England, a patent was granted for this process. Two decades after this, the focus shifted to zinc sulfide as a suitable pigment for paint. The year 1874 witnessed the patenting of a manufacturing process for a novel white pigment composed of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. Dubbed Charlton white or Orr’s white enamel, this began a new era for white pigments.

Another challenge facing TiO2 industry suppliers is the increasing environmental regulations and sustainability requirements. The production of TiO2 can have environmental impacts, such as energy consumption and waste generation. Suppliers must invest in sustainable practices and technologies to minimize their environmental footprint and meet regulatory requirements.
