Barytes, with a composition of 98% barium sulphates, occurs naturally in nodular particle structure and is available in extra super snow white (ESSW) and off-color variations (Brown/Gray). It is a fine, free-flowing powder that is insoluble in water and exhibits low oil absorption. This characteristic, coupled with its strong crystalline structure and high refractive index, enables it to impart strength. Barytes contains a minimum of 95% to 98% barium sulphate.
Also known as Barytes, this form of Barium Sulphate is found worldwide as an ore. Available in normal white or buff color, Barytes is mined through both underground and surface methods, and is sold as a fine white powder.
The entire mining operation is open cast, and shaft mining methods are used to access the estimated deposits, which are placed at 1 million tons. By acquiring the surrounding virgin sites, we have the potential and expertise to produce barytes of different grades to meet the requirements of various industries, including rubber, oil drilling, paints, paper, and other industrial applications.
Barytes Powder for Paint Industry
Barytes can be used for the purpose of filling in paint and dope. These can be used as substitutes for monox, basofor, crypton, titanium dioxide, etc. Their use helps to control the thickness and stickiness of the paint.
Barytes Powder for Plastic Industry
In the plastic industry, Barytes is used to fill plastic ABS. This enhances the products' bright color, intensity, resistance to abrasiveness, and stiffness.
Barytes Powder for Rubber Industry
Barytes are used for filling rubber products, aiding in cost savings. They can enhance the intensity, acid, alkali, and water-proof properties of both Synthetic Rubber and Natural Rubber.
Barytes Powder for Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, Barytes is often used as a barium meal material for stomach and intestines reflection. It is also used as a filler for plaster and dope.
Barytes Powder for Oil Industry
In the oil industry, Barytes is mainly used as a weighting agent for drilling fluids and gas exploration. Its density aids in lubrication and down-hole flow.
