Barite

What Makes Our Barite Stand Out?

  • High-purity natural barium sulfate (BaSO₄) with excellent density and chemical inertness
  • Consistent whiteness and low oil absorption — ideal for coatings and plastics
  • High specific gravity (4.2–4.4 g/cm³) for weighting and density control applications
  • Insoluble and chemically stable — suitable for demanding industrial environments
  • Available in various grades: drilling, industrial, micronized, and high-purity grades
  • Low heavy metal content and controlled particle size distribution
  • Supplied in bulk, big bags, and palletized bags for global export
 
BARITE GRADES & PERFORMANCE
Grade Main Use Key Feature
Drilling Grade Oil & gas drilling muds High SG for well control and mud weighting
Micronized Grade Paints, plastics, rubber Fine particle size for smooth finish and reinforcement
High-Purity White Coatings, ceramics, pharma (non-active) High whiteness, low impurities
 
TECHNICAL BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
  • Provides density and stability in drilling fluids
  • Improves brightness, gloss, and smoothness in coatings
  • Enhances chemical resistance and dimensional stability in polymers
  • Acts as an inert functional filler with excellent UV and weathering resistance
  • Low oil absorption — cost-efficient pigment extender in paints
 
BARITE – Reliable Performance Mineral

Our barite is processed from selected deposits to meet high-performance industrial specifications. It is valued for its high specific gravity, chemical inertness, low abrasiveness, and suitability for use in systems requiring durability and purity.

Whether used as a weighting agent in drilling muds or as a functional filler in coatings and plastics, our barite delivers stable performance, consistency, and reliable processing behavior.

A versatile industrial mineral serving both heavy-industry and specialty formulation needs.

 
BRANCHES
  • Oil & gas industry (drilling fluids and weighting agents)
  • Paints & coatings (industrial, decorative, powder coatings)
  • Plastics & rubber (filler, reinforcement, density control)
  • Ceramics & glass (whiteness, gloss, and temperature stability)
  • Chemical industry (barium-based chemical production)
 
APPLICATIONS
  • Weighting agent in drilling and completion fluids
  • Functional filler for paints, varnishes, and powder coatings
  • Density and reinforcement additive in plastics and rubber
  • Ceramic frits, glazes, and specialty glass formulations

Yinovia Minerals: Independent Industrial Mineral Supplier for Europe, the Middle East and Asia

Yinovia Minerals is a Hamburg-based independent trading and supply company specialising in industrial minerals and ores. We work directly with selected producers, primarily in Türkiye, and connect them with industrial customers across Europe, the Middle East and Asia through workable, commercially realistic supply routes.

Our portfolio covers bauxite, barite, bentonite, feldspar and feldspathic raw materials, amorphous silica, volcanic pozzolan, pumice and lava stone, serving the ceramics, glass, construction, cement and concrete industries. Every sourcing process is supported by representative sampling, technical documentation and multilingual communication.

Our Product Portfolio

Natural Bauxite – AG Series

Classified natural bauxite grades (AG-46, AG-52, AG-54) from Muğla, Türkiye, crushed, screened and sorted into three commercial size ranges with distinct Al₂O₃, SiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and loss-on-ignition profiles. Used as feedstock for aluminium-related processing, refractory and high-alumina formulations, and cement and mineral blends, subject to grade and process evaluation. Supplied in bulk or Big Bags, typically FOB Güllük or İzmir.

Barite (BaSO₄) – High-Purity Barium Sulphate

Natural barite offering strong density (4.2–4.4 g/cm³) and chemical inertness, relevant for oil & gas drilling fluid weighting, paints, plastics and radiation-shielding concrete. Available at 90–98% BaSO₄ purity in Drilling, Micronised and High-Purity White grades, shipped from Mersin and İskenderun.

BT-1 White Bentonite

A natural white Turkish bentonite with high montmorillonite content, offering strong binding, plasticity and rheological properties for ceramic formulations where processing behaviour, green strength, suspension stability and fired colour matter together. Available in bulk or milled form, in big bags or containers.

Feldspar & Feldspathic Raw Materials

Two distinct natural product lines: the Na-K Series (sodium-dominant Na-K feldspar grades Na-K1 and Na-K2) used as feldspathic fluxes in ceramic formulations, and the YF-M Series (three natural, non-flotated feldspathic mix raw materials YF-M1 to YF-M3) for ceramic body development. These lines differ in chemistry, mineralogy and firing behaviour and are evaluated separately, not as one uniform product.

Volcanic Pozzolan

A natural volcanic pozzolan used as a supplementary cementitious material in low-carbon cement and concrete blends, contributing to durability and reduced clinker content where confirmed suitable for the intended mix design.

Pumice – Natural Volcanic Raw Material from Central Anatolia

Lightweight pumice with a dry bulk density of 380–600 kg/m³ and low thermal conductivity (0.12–0.18 W/mK), used as lightweight concrete aggregate, in road construction and thermal insulation, as a growing substrate in horticulture, and as a filter medium. Bulk shipments from İskenderun and Yumurtalık.

Lava Stone

Natural volcanic lava stone supplied for construction, landscaping and filtration applications, with size and grading confirmed per order and shipment.

Our Product Groups

Specialty Minerals & Ores

Bauxite, barite, bentonite and other specialty minerals and ores sourced and qualified for industrial applications through representative sampling and technical evaluation before larger volumes are discussed.
