Barite is a mineral that is naturally occurring in hydrothermal ore veins, sedimentary rocks such as limestone and clay deposits formed by the weathering of limestone. Barite also occurs in cavities in igneous rock.

Barite contains 95 to 98% barium sulphate with a nodular particle structure. This makes it one of the strongest natural minerals on Earth. Barite has high refractive index and strong crystalline structure which helps it impart strength. Barytes has a white colour and is not soluble in water, but it has low oil absorption which makes it useful for making paper products.

Safeda Kashgari Uses:

Barytes powder is widely used in plastic industry. It is used as the filling of plastic ABC to create beautiful colorful plastics. It is also very effective in improving the stiffness, intensity, and abrasive strength to it thereby making it stronger in strength and beautiful in appearance.

Paint industry? Barites is an amazing replacement to expensive materials used in dope and painting! It is an amazing replacement to basofor, crypton, titanium dioxide, activity and monox which are used for filling. It is very effective in controlling the viscosity of the paint.

Rubber industry? If you are looking for saving costs in the rubber industry then you can always use the barites mineral of less than 500 mesh for filling the rubber products. This is very effective in making your product water proof. It also improves the intensity of your product and makes it acid proof or alkali proof increasing its life so that your product lasts longer making it more durable."

Safeda Kashgari Benefits:

Barytes Powder is a high-purity, low silica white barium sulphate powder that offers benefits such as higher filler loading capacity and reduced titanium dioxide utilization. It acts as a functional filler to offer bulking properties.

Most barite produced is used as a weighting agent in drilling muds. This is what 99% of the barite consumed in the United States is used for. These high-density muds are pumped down the drill stem, exit through the cutting bit and return to the surface between the drill stem and the wall of the well. This flow of fluid does two things: 1) it cools the drill bit; and, 2) the high-density barite mud suspends the rock cuttings produced by the drill and carries them up to the surface.
