Natural barium sulfate (barite powder)

Natural barium sulfate is also called barite powder. The chemical composition of barite is BaSO4, and the crystal belongs to the sulfate mineral of orthogonal (rhombic) crystal system. They are usually thick plate or columnar crystals, mostly dense massive or plate or granular aggregates. It is colorless and transparent when it is pure, and it is dyed into various colors when it contains impurities, with white streaks, glass luster, transparent to translucent. The three groups of cleavage are complete, and the included angle is equal to or close to 90 °. Mohs hardness 3-3.5, specific gravity 4.0-4.6.

Barite is the mineralogical name of barium sulfate, and barium sulfate (BaSO4) is the chemical composition of barite. The higher the content of barium sulfate, the better the quality of barite. Barite is a mixture of ores because it contains other impurities, but the main component is barium sulfate, which is pure.

Application field of barite powder:

Circulating mud weighting agent in rotary drilling of oil and gas wells for oil and gas drilling cools the drill bit, takes away the cut debris, lubricates the drill pipe, seals the hole wall, controls the oil and gas pressure, and prevents the oil well from flowing out

Chemical production of barium carbonate, barium chloride, barium sulfate, lithopone, barium hydroxide, barium oxide and other barium compounds These barium compounds are widely used in reagent, catalyst, sugar refining, textile, fire prevention, various fireworks, coagulant of synthetic rubber, plastic, insecticide, surface quenching of steel, fluorescent powder, fluorescent lamp, welding flux, oil additive and other glass deoxidizers, clarifiers, fluxes to increase the optical stability of glass Gloss and strength Rubber, plastic paint filler, brightener, weighting agent Building concrete aggregate paving materials weigh the buried pipes in marsh areas, replacing lead plates for shielding of nuclear facilities, atomic energy plants, X-ray laboratories, etc., to extend the life of the pavement.

(The fineness can be customized according to customer requirements)

Main purpose:

Barite is mainly used in petroleum, chemical, paint, filler and other industrial sectors, of which 80~90% is used as mud weighting agent in petroleum drilling.
