Paint grade Baryte / Barium Sulfate
Barite in Paint Industry In dope and painting, it can be used as filling and can take the place of some expensive material such as basofor, crypton, titanium dioxide, activity, monox etc to Control the viscosity of the paint compatibly to make the products with bright color and good stability. Non qualitative white powder. Nontoxic, not soluble in water, soluble in smoking Sulphuric Acid, slightly soluble in boiling Hydrochloric Acid. Chemical property is stable, it’ll reduce to Barium Sulfide when heat with carbon. It won’t change color when meeting with hydrogen sulfide or toxic gas in the air.
Barium sulfate is reduced to barium sulfide by carbon. The accidental discovery of this conversion many centuries ago led to the discovery of the first synthetic phosphor. The sulfide, unlike the sulfate, is water-soluble. Our Barite lumps have 90% Whiteness and 94% BaSo4 content.
Application Of Barite In Fillers
Barite is used in paint, plastic, paper and rubber industries as filler material. Due to its high specific gravity and radioactive absorption property, it is also used in the production of cement blocks. A mixture of rubber, asphalt and 10% barite is used in the construction of stations and runways of the airport. It is also used in pharmaceutical industries, alloy, and radiation protection and so on.
