About Barium Sulfate (Barite)
Barium sulfate (barite) is a naturally occurring mineral composed of barium and sulfate, essential for industrial applications including oil and gas drilling fluids, pigments, coatings, and medical imaging contrast agents. Internationally traded grades are classified by API specifications, with drilling-grade barite (typically 90-95% purity) and high-purity pharmaceutical-grade barite commanding premium prices. China dominates global production and exports, followed by India, Morocco, and the United States. Buyers should prioritize verification of specific gravity (4.2+ minimum for drilling applications) and acid-soluble content testing, as these critical parameters directly impact drilling fluid performance and contract compliance, with regional density variations affecting product suitability.
