Natural Barytes - Baso4, Off White Color | High Density, Insoluble In Water, Acid Resistance, Variable Particle Size, Hardness 3-3.5 Mohs

With commitment towards quality, we are engaged in providing Natural Barytes. This is a naturally occurring sulfate of barium and is known for its high specific gravity. Widely used in the oil industry, this product is chiefly used as drilling mud. In addition to this, the in-depth knowledge of our professionals in this domain makes us capable to produce the best Natural Barytes that are used as a filler in following products:

• Oil cloth
• Linoleum
• Rubber
• X-ray proof plaster
• Brake linings
• Clutch facings
• Rope finishes

Other Details:

Chemical formula, BaSO4 (BaO 65.7% and SO3 34.3%). By virtue of its high specific gravity, it is known as one of the heaviest Mineral on Earth.

The Physiochemical test reflects its high bulk density of 1.5 gm/cc, insolubility in water, resistance to acids and alkalies, low abrasiveness and high refractive index of 1.63, The mineral has perfect cleavage, brittle with an uneven fracture. The hardness varies from 3 to 3.5 on Mohs scale. The specific gravity of pure barytes is 4.5 and this can vary downward, depending on the impurities present. The mineral has white streak with the lustre inclining to resinous. The Mineral is available in grades of Off White, A1, Snow White, Super Snow White & Extra Super Snow White

Industrial Uses :

The main functions of drilling fluids or muds are (a) to cool and lubricate the drilling bit and drilling string, (b) to remove cuttings from the bits and to transport them to the surface, (c) to have thixotropic or gelling properties so that in the event of a pump failure, the mud will gel and hold all the cuttings in suspension, (d) to cement the open wall of the well to counteract any tendency for a loose formation to cave into the well, (e) to control the pressure in the well by virtue of the muds high specific gravity and to prevent a well running wild in the event of oil or gas being met under pressure and (f) to reduce the friction in the drilling string. Barytes crushed to pass through 2.00 to 0.840 mm sieve mesh is employed in the production of homogenized glass as a flux and to add brilliance and clarity to the product. Bleached ground barytes has been used as a pigment in several ways: as the natural white sulfate and as blanc fixed in lithophone as an indicator in medical X-ray photography. It is added to bristol board, heavy printingpapers and even playing cards. In the construction industry, some barytes is used in concrete aggregate to weigh down pipeline buried in marshy areas and to shield nuclear reactors. About 10% of barytes is used with rubber and asphalt in a paving mixture suitably durable for parking lots, roads, and airport runways.roads, and airport runways.
