Barite powder

BARITE is a mineral composed of Barium Sulfate (BaSO4). The high specific gravity of BARITE makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial, medical, and manufacturing uses. BARITE also serves as the principal ore of Barium.

WASIT GROUP is now engage in supplying BARITE in local and international markets. We have an expert team that will handle our material production including its delivery.

Our BARITE POWDER is noted for its high specific gravity and is used as a filler and weighting agent. The BARITE POWDER that we offer is usually sold as an aggregate or fine powder.
