An amusing incident is told of a young man who painted his boat one night with a white paint in which lithopone was the pigment. |
Almost complete failure had taken place in every case where lithopone had been used. |
For decades, local factories smelted zinc, produced phosphate fertilizer, and manufactured lithopone paint pigment. |
These lithopone tests were later on replaced by new tests which are described later in this book. |
Thixotropy occurs in paint, such as lithopone in oil, which flows freely when stirred and reverts to a gel-like state on standing. |
The basic white pigments include zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, lithopone, and titanium dioxide. |
