Barite powder is a finely ground form of the mineral barite, also known as barium sulfate (BaSO4). It's characterized by its high density (specific gravity of 4.2-4.6) and is chemically inert and insoluble. Barite powder finds applications in various industries, most notably as a weighting agent in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration.
Our barite powder is finely ground and processed directly from our fresh mine in Laos. Based on the customer's requirements, Barite Quang Trung (QTI) is able to produce a wide variety of barite powder (4.2-4.4 SG).
Especially, we produce API-grade barite powder, tested by SGS. Our powder has high fineness and has a content of 93% BaSO4 or more, showing its purity with few residues.
Baryte, barite or barytes is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO4).Baryte is generally white or colorless, and is the main source of the element barium.The baryte group consists of baryte, celestine (strontium sulfate), anglesite (lead sulfate), and anhydrite (calcium sulfate).

Barite, a name that was derived from the Greek word "barus" (heavy), is the mineralogical name for barium sulfate. In commerce, the mineral is sometimes referred to as "barytes." The term "primary barite" refers to the first marketable product, which includes crude Baryte (run of mine) and the products of simple beneficiation methods, such as washing, jigging, heavy media separation, tabling, flotation, and magnetic separation.
It is a relatively inert mineral with a high density and most commonly used as a weighting agent in drilling muds. These high density muds are circulated down the drill stem and return to the surface between the drill stem and the wall of the well. This action effectively flushes the cuttings produced by the drill and carries them to the surface.
Baryte is also used as a pigment in paints and as weighted filler for paper and cloth. It is the primary ore of barium. Barite's high density makes it opaque to x-rays. If it is given to a patient as a drink or enema it can be used to image the shape of internal organs by x-ray.
Although barite contains a "heavy" metal (barium), it is not a toxic chemical under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, because it is very insoluble.

Barite Powder China
Product Details
Barite,also spelled baryte, is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). It receives its name from the greek word "barys" which means "heavy." This name is in response to barite's high specific gravity of 4.5, which is exceptional for a nonmetallic mineral. China is the leading producers of barite, and  also has  the largest reserves. We have abundant mineral resources to meet any of your need.
Paint Grade Barite Powder
Appearance: White powder
Application: Widely used as body pigment in the paint industry such as topcoat, ready mixed paint, powder coating, high solid coatings, printing ink, latex paint and all kinds of industrial paints. In addition, it can be used as functional filler in plastics, ceramics, friction materials, anti-radiation materials and rubber products.
Packing: In 25kg, 50kg or 1000kg woven bags with plastic liner inside, or as per buyers option.
