Barytes Powder Manufacturer in India Rashtriya Chemicals and Minerals

Barytes is also called Barium Sulphate (BaSO₄). In India, this product is concentrated in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan regions. It's most striking feature is its heaviness. The specific gravity, or weight per unit volume, is 4 to 5, which is about twice that of the most commonly available industrial minerals. This high specific gravity makes it very useful in many industries. Barites can occur in numerous colours: white, brown, yellow, red and gray are most common. The colours 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.

Barytes Ore largely occurs naturally in grey colour and this colour Baryte is used in Oil, Gas & Drilling industries both onshore and offshore. The best quantity of Barytes in the world for the drilling industries is supplied from India.

Barytes is a clean, relatively soft, virtually inert, and quite inexpensive mineral with high Specific gravity (hence used as weighing agent in drilling mud). Drilling muds account for more than 90% of the worldwide market for Barite.

Applications

The largest application for barytes is as a weighing agent in natural gas and oil field drilling muds. The density of barite helps in down-hole flow and bit lubrication. One of its industrial end uses is as a weighing agent additive in paper, cement, rubber and urethane foams. It is used in paint and powder coatings for metal protection, insulation and processing improvement. Barite is also used in friction products such as brake pads and clutch surfaces. We are engaged in offering a wide range Barytes Powder Manufacturer in India that is appreciated for whiteness and bulk density. These are extensively applicable in paint, ceramics, rubber and linoleum flooring.
