Skin-penetration studies 

Loman Lithopone B311
White power, is a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. Its whiteness, strong hiding power than zinc oxide, refractive index and opaque force than zinc oxide and lead oxide.


Applications:
Used for paint, ink, rubber, polyolefin, vinyl resin, ABS resin, polystyrense,polycarbonate, paper, cloth, leather, enamel, etc. Used as a binder in buld production.

Storage:
The product is a kind of white power which is safe, nontoxic and harmless. Keep from misture during transport and should be stored in a cool, dry condition. Avoid breathing  dust when handling, and wash with soap & water in case of skin contact. For more details, please refer to the MSDS.

For a review published in 2023 in the journal Environmental Pollution, researchers examined E171 as a possible factor promoting obesity-related metabolic disorders. Because gut microbiota play an important role in immune function maintenance and development, and because titanium dioxide as a food additive has been shown to alter gut microbiota, researchers wanted to review “the dysregulations along the gut microbiota-immune system axis after oral TiO2 exposure compared to those reported in obese or diabetic patients, and to highlight potential mechanisms by which foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles may increase the susceptibility to develop obesity-related metabolic disorders.” The study authors discovered recurrent changes in the gut microbiota composition when exposed to titanium dioxide nanoparticles, with an imbalance of intestinal symbiotic microbiota. These changes and imbalances were also reported and played a role in the development of obesity, the authors wrote. This highlights “foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles as an endocrine disruptor-like chemical promoting obesity-related disorders,” the authors concluded.
