Esinye sezici ezichazayo ze-lithopone amandla ayo okufihla aphezulu, aphikisana ne-titanium dioxide kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, okwenza ibe yindawo ekahle kakhulu ekuqedeni okungabonakali. Ibonisa ukumelana okuhle nama-alkali, yize izwa ama-asidi, angabhidliza isakhiwo sayo. Ngokungafani neminye imibala, i-lithopone ayishintshi umbala ngaphansi kokukhanya, iqinisekisa ukuzinza kwesikhathi eside emikhiqizweni yangaphandle nangaphakathi ngokufanayo. Ukumuncwa kwayo okuphansi kwamafutha kuthuthukisa nokusebenza kwayo kumapende nakuyinki, okuvumela ukusetshenziswa okubushelelezi nokugeleza okungcono.​

Enqubweni yokukhiqiza, izixazululo ze-barium sulfide ehlanziwe kanye ne-zinc sulfate ziyaxutshwa, okwenza izinhlayiya ze-lithopone zibe zihlungiwe, zigezwe, zomiswe, bese zigaywa ukuze kufezwe ubukhulu bezinhlayiya obuqondile—ngokuvamile kusukela kuma-micrometer angu-0.5 kuya kwangu-5. Lokhu kugaya okuncane kuthuthukisa ukuhlakazeka kwayo kuma-matrices ahlukahlukene, kusukela kupende olusekelwe kumafutha kuya kuma-resin epulasitiki.​

Imboni yokugqoka ithembele kakhulu kwi-lithopone ngopende wangaphakathi, ama-primer, nama-enamel, lapho ihlinzeka khona ngesisekelo esimhlophe esifanayo futhi ithuthukisa ukumbozwa. Kumapulasitiki, isebenza njenge-filler kanye ne-ejenti yokwenza mhlophe emikhiqizweni efana namapayipi e-PVC, amathoyizi, kanye nokupakishwa, okuthuthukisa ukubukeka kanye nobuqotho besakhiwo. Izakhiwo zezimonyo, njengempuphu yobuso nama-cream, zisebenzisa i-lithopone ukuze ziqede kahle futhi zikwazi ukubonakalisa ukukhanya, okwenza isikhumba sibe nombala obushelelezi, olinganayo.
