Product Information
“Barite” is a mineral and it’s name originates from the Greek word “Barus” meaning heavy. It is a mineral that can be found along with limestones and sandstones. The physical properties of this mineral indicates that it has specific weight (γ) of 4.1 to 4.6 and is heavier than most non-metal minerals.
Barite (also known as Baryte or Barytes) is a naturally occurring mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO4). This dense, relatively soft mineral is known for its high specific gravity, chemical inertness, and low solubility. These properties make barite an essential raw material in a wide range of industries, from petroleum drilling to paint manufacturing.
