Barite
Barite
Barite, also known by its chemical name Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄), is a high-density, inert mineral that appears in a variety of colors such as white, gray, blue, or brown depending on its impurities. It is one of the most important industrial minerals due to its high specific gravity, chemical stability, and radiation-absorbing properties.
Barite is predominantly used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration due to its ability to stabilize boreholes and control pressure. Additionally, its exceptional whiteness and brightness make it ideal for use in the paint, rubber, plastics, ceramics, and glass industries as a filler or pigment enhancer.
Our Barite is carefully mined, processed, and quality-checked to meet both domestic and international standards across various industries. We offer Barite in lump form as well as finely ground powder, tailored to meet the needs of different industrial applications.
Our Barite is sourced from reliable mineral reserves and processed at state-of-the-art facilities using advanced techniques. The process includes:
- Crushing & Grinding: Raw Barite is crushed and ground to the desired mesh size.
- Washing & Purification: Removal of impurities to enhance brightness and quality.
- Quality Checks: Ensuring consistent particle size, purity, and specific gravity.
- Packaging: Secure packaging in moisture-proof bags to maintain product integrity.
All processing complies with international standards for industrial minerals.
