Barium Sulfate Application : Paints, Coatings, Plastics, Rubber Formulations

Barium sulfate mineral is called barite. As a white amorphous powder. Stable, insoluble in water, acids, bases or organic solvents. Radiology Barium sulfate is mainly the use of X-rays that can be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and the role of developing it, it is mainly used for gastrointestinal contrast agent. For the manufacture of barium salt.
Characters:
Orthorhombic, mostly plate-like crystals, short column, the general was dense block, plate, columnar output. Colorless crystals, generally white, gray, gray, yellow, pink, light blue, brown and other colors. Glass luster, fracture pearl luster, white streak.
The main purpose
1. insoluble in water and acid, chemically stable, non-magnetic-toxic, and absorption properties of X-rays and gamma rays. Barite mainly in layered sedimentary deposits and epithermal veins, often with quartz, dolomite, calcite, fluorite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and other symbiotic.
2. mainly used for oil and gas drilling mud weighting agent is to extract metals barium and preparation of mineral raw materials of various important barium compounds. The most industrially important compounds are barium carbonate, barium chloride, barium sulfate, barium nitrate, barium hydroxide, barium oxide, barium peroxide, barium chromate, manganese, barium, barium chlorate, barium zinc white, polysulfide barium. Very extensive use of barium compounds: for rubber, plastics, paint, paint, paper, textile, paint, ink, raw materials and welding filler; used as a barium-based grease, oil refining, beet sugar, artificial silk raw materials; used as an insecticide, sterilizing agents, rodenticides, explosives, fireworks green, signal flares, tracer, such as medical X-light indicator, etc; also used in glass, ceramics, leather, electronics, building materials, metallurgy and other sectors. Metal barium can be used for television and vacuum getter, binder.
