Barytes Powder, also called barite, is a mineral available worldwide, composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). The largest deposits are in the U.S., Mexico, China, India and Morocco. The name barytes is derived from the Greek baryas meaning heavy or heavy spar, because its most striking feature is its heaviness. The specific gravity, or weight per unit volume, is 4 to 5, which is about twice that of most common industrial minerals. For comparison, calcium carbonate or limestone has a specific gravity of 2.7. Because of this high density, a teaspoon of barytes would weigh close to the same as a tablespoon of salt, which equals three teaspoons. Barytes Powder can occur in numerous colors; white, brown, yellow, red and gray are most common. The colors are the result of impurities such as iron, strontium and lead, and mineral contaminants such as clay and sand. Barite is insoluble in water and is resistant to acid attack. Uses of Barytes Powder The largest application of Barytes Powder is as a weighting agent in natural gas and oil field drilling muds. The density of Barytes Powder helps in down-hole flow and bit lubrication. One of its industrial end uses is as a weighting agent additive in cement, rubber and urethane foams. Barytes Powder is used in paint and powder coatings for metal protection and processing improvement. Barytes Powder is also used in friction products such as brake pads and clutch surfaces. Because barite is so dense that it reduces the passage of x-rays it is used in cement vessels for radioactive material containment, in gastrointestinal x-ray milkshakes and in cathode ray masks in television sets and computer monitors. It also absorbs sound, so is included in sound-deadening sealants and underbody coatings in automobile and other vehicle manufacture. Barytes Products Barite ore is ground to a range of products of the different sizes needed for the variety of applications. Most commercially available products are 200 or 325 mesh, or finer, down to a few microns. The ore is selected and the process is controlled for one or more of the following properties: color, particle size, specific gravity and bulk density. Some barytes is available in a bleached form to improve color, and there is a precipitated barium sulfate, referred to as blanc fixe, that finds use in high-end paints and coatings and in pharmaceutical applications.

The Barytes Powder is a form of Barium Sulphate (BaSO4), which is also known as Barite and Barites. Normal white or Buff colored, is found throughout the world as an ore. Barytes is mined by both underground and surface methods, and sold as a fine white powder. Our Barytes Powder is noted for its high specific gravity and is used as a filler and weighting agent. We supply OCMA & API standard drilling grade Barytes Powder for use in weighting drilling fluids and filler grade Barytes and micron sized white grades for use in surface coating and plastics.Pure Barytes is 66% BaO and 34% SO3, normally white but many deposits are discolored by small amounts of impurities. Barytes is found throughout the world as an ore body in residual, vein type, as well as bedded forms. Barytes is mined by both surface and underground methods, initially crushed then washed and sized prior to upgrading by jigging, flotation or magnetic separation. The Barytes Powder, which we offer, is usually sold as an aggregate or fine powder. We are reliable Manufacturer and Supplier of the Barytes Powder from Udaipur.Applications : 88% in Oil Well Drilling Muds 6% in Ceramic & Glass 6% in Chemicals, Fillers, Extenders & Aggregates Functions :There are two main grades, OCMA and API Grades. Mainly used in the Drilling/Mining industry and in the Plastics industry. Its low abrasion quality and high specific gravity, makes it very useful in the manufacture of drilling muds, and as inexpensive filler and weighting agent.Specification of API SEC.2 Barytes Powder Density 4.20 g/cm3, minimum Water soluble alkaline earth metals as calcium 250mb/kg maximum. Filtrate Volume 15 Max. Residue greater than 75 micrometers 3.0 wt. %, maximum. Particles less than 6mm in equivalent spherical diameter 30 wt. %, maximum.
