Barium sulfate (barite) is a naturally occurring mineral composed of barium and sulfate, widely traded in high-grade form for industrial applications. Primary uses include oil and gas drilling mud weighting agent, paint and coating filler, rubber reinforcement, and medical imaging contrast medium. Internationally traded grades are typically classified by API specifications, with API Grade (>95% BaSO₄) commanding premium prices. China dominates global production and exports, followed by India and Morocco. Major buyers source from these regions, though grades vary significantly by deposit geology. Buyers should verify brightness values and confirm absence of soluble barium compounds, as impurities directly impact drilling mud performance and medical applications; independent laboratory testing is essential before bulk commitments.
