Description :

Overview of Barium Sulphate

Barium Sulphate is a white, crystalline inorganic compound widely used as a filler, pigment extender, and weighting agent across multiple industrial sectors. It is chemically inert, insoluble in water, and valued for its high density, brightness, and excellent chemical resistance.

In industrial applications, Barium Sulphate is preferred for its stability, non-reactivity, and compatibility with polymers, coatings, and speciality formulations. It is commonly used alongside Barium Carbonate, Barium Sulfide, Calcium Carbonate, and Titanium Dioxide, available on ChemicalBull, enabling complete solutions for plastics, rubber, paints, and industrial chemicals.
