Main applications
Industrial Paints, Protective Coatings, Plastics & Polymers
Overview
Natural barite is barium sulfate in its mineral form. It is ground to a usable size but not micronized.
It is used where density and chemical inertness are the main requirements, for example as a weighting material or as a dense filler in some coatings and polymer compounds. Where surface appearance and fine dispersion matter, micronized barium sulfate is usually the better choice.
Main characteristics
- Natural mineral origin
- High specific gravity
- Chemical inertness
- Coarser particle size than micronized grades
