Opaque, good whiteness, limited outdoor resistance; In contrast to the other white pigments, Zinc Sulfide has a slight greenish tint, but this is not practically relevant. Zinc Sulfide has the highest hiding power next to Titanium White. The lightening capacity is also significantly better than that of the mixed pigment Lithopone, Cremnitz White and even more so Zinc White. The production of Zinc Sulfide paint is easier than with other white pigments. For water-based techniques, even in oil in small quantities, a thorough spackling is sufficient. However, when making oil paint, the soft pigment should be rubbed with the glass muller. Zinc Sulfide is also suitable as a base for silver pencil drawings.
