Barites
Barites
Barites (Barium Sulphate, BaSO4) is a naturally occurring, high-specific-gravity mineral valued for its excellent chemical inertness, high whiteness, low oil absorption, and superior dispersion properties.
It is available in different grades and particle sizes to meet the requirements of various industries. Due to its high density and excellent filler characteristics, Barites enhances product performance, improves durability, and reduces formulation costs.
Applications
Paints & Coatings
- Improves opacity and brightness.
- Enhances weather resistance and chemical resistance.
