Barite powder, also known as barytes powder, is refined from natural barite mineral, with barium sulfate (BaSO4) as its main component. It is processed through ore crushing, purification, ultra-fine grinding and air classification. Available in multiple mesh sizes from coarse drilling grade to ultra-fine coating grade, our barite powder features high purity, stable specific gravity, low impurity and excellent dispersibility, widely exported to global industrial buyers.
Key Features & Properties
Its most remarkable feature is high specific gravity ranging from 4.1 to 4.5. It is chemically inert, insoluble in water, acids and alkalis under normal conditions, and maintains stable performance in harsh environments. With good whiteness, low oil absorption and high refractive index, barite powder can enhance surface gloss, hiding power and weather resistance when added into coatings. It is non-toxic, non-magnetic and radiation shielding capable, which makes it irreplaceable for many special industrial scenarios.
Wide Range of Applications
The largest consumption field is oil and gas drilling. As a key weighting agent for drilling mud, barite powder raises mud density to balance underground formation pressure, stabilize boreholes and avoid blowouts during exploration.
Besides drilling, it serves as premium functional filler in paints, coatings, ink, rubber and plastic. In coating production, it improves film hardness and anti-settling property. In rubber and plastic products, it increases density, sound insulation and wear resistance. It is also used for radiation protection materials, friction pieces, ceramics and paper industry.
We implement strict quality inspection for every batch. Different grades can be customized according to customer requirements. With stable supply capacity, competitive bulk price and reliable delivery schedule, our factory has rich export experience.
Thanks to its unique high-density property and excellent chemical stability, barite powder remains one of the most essential non-metallic mineral raw materials for oil exploration and modern manufacturing industry.
