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.
