Barium
Sulphate / Barium Sulfate
Barium Sulphate / Barium
Sulfate is a white powdery substance that naturally occurs as
mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and
other materials prepared from it. Barium Sulphate exhibits complete
solubility in concentrated sulphuric acid with sparingly or no
solubility in other acids, alcohols and water. Barium Sulfate is
odorless.
Our wide range of Barium
Sulphate Powder provides efficacious solutions to Paint and Plastic
Industry. The mixture of this powder is used as white pigments in
paints. In addition, it is applied as a component of oil well
drilling fluid to boost the density as well as filler in plastics.
We have high advanced technological tools for the processing of pure
White Barium Sulphate as per the requirements of the clients.
Consequently, we are recognized as one of the most prominent White
Barium Sulphate Manufacturers and Natural Barium Sulphate Exporters,
based in India.
All of the major applications
of Barium Sulphate are based on its high opaque appearance and high
density. Barium Sulfate is used as white pigment for paints and used
as filler in plastics. In Oil Paint, Barium Sulphate is almost
transparent and is used as filler or to modify consistency. About
80% of the world’s Barium Sulfate is used as a component in Oil Well
Drilling Fluid as it increases the density of the fluid. Barium
Sulfate is also nowadays being used clinically as a radio contrast
agent for X-ray imaging and other diagnostic procedures. Barium
Sulphate is also used in the manufacture of other Barium Salts.
