High Purity 98% Barium Sulfate Filler for Drilling Mud Weighting and Plastic Additive Applications

Our Barium Sulfate Filler with a guaranteed minimum purity of 98% serves as a critical performance material in petroleum exploration and polymer manufacturing. This versatile product undergoes careful processing and quality control to meet demanding specifications for both applications.

This versatile product, also known as barite when referring to its natural mineral form, demonstrates unique combination of high density, chemical inertness, and favorable economics that make it irreplaceable in these applications.

In the petroleum industry, our 98% pure barium sulfate serves as the primary Drilling Mud Weighting Agent in water-based, oil-based, and synthetic-based drilling fluids. Its exceptionally high specific gravity (approximately 4.2-4.5 g/cm³) makes it ideal for increasing mud density to control formation pressures and prevent blowouts.

• Meets or exceeds API Specification 13A for drilling-grade barite
• Optimal particle size distribution (minimum 97% passing through 200 mesh/74 microns)
• Chemical inertness ensures compatibility with various drilling fluid additives
• Reduced abrasion on drilling equipment (3-3.5 on Mohs hardness scale)

As a Plastic Additive, our barium sulfate filler offers numerous advantages that improve both processing characteristics and final properties of polymer compounds.

• High density contributes to sound damping in automotive applications
• Excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability for engineering plastics
• Improves dimensional stability, surface hardness, and weathering resistance in PVC
• Enhances stiffness and heat deflection temperature in polyolefins
• White color and low oil absorption for color consistency

The production involves careful beneficiation of natural barite ore followed by processing to achieve required purity and particle size characteristics. We maintain separate quality protocols for drilling-grade and plastic-grade materials to ensure each meets specific performance requirements.

We provide comprehensive technical support for both drilling fluid engineers and plastics compounders, including formulation assistance, compound testing services, and guidance on surface treatment options.

• Guidance on mud formulation, density calculations, and compatibility testing
• Extensive stocks of API-grade material with multiple packaging options
• Formulation assistance and testing services for polymer systems
• Reliable supply chain management and consistent product quality
