About Barium Sulfate (Barite) (Pellets)
Barium sulfate, commonly known as barite, is a naturally occurring mineral (BaSO₄) supplied in pellet form for industrial applications requiring high density and chemical inertness. Primary uses include oil and gas drilling fluids as a weighting agent, medical imaging contrast media, and fillers in coatings, plastics, and rubber products. International trade focuses on API (American Petroleum Institute) grades, typically classified by specific gravity (4.2–4.3 g/cm³) and fineness specifications. Major producers and exporters include China, India, Morocco, and Mexico, with China commanding approximately 40% of global supply. Buyers should verify whiteness values (brightness) and absence of heavy metal contaminants, as these directly impact downstream application performance and regulatory compliance, particularly for pharmaceutical-grade requirements.
