Baryte

VM Baryte

BaryteBaryte or barite is a mineral comprising barium sulphate. It is generally white or colorless and is the main source of barium. Vasu Minechem Baryte comes in a micronized form and is of high purity Natural barite originating with high brightness from selected reserves is instrumental in various applications.

Our Baryte Powder is used in paint and powder coatings for metal protection and processing improvement.

Our VM BARYTE series is white and natural having a nodular structure of the particle. It has the highest density among all extender pigments. It is inert in acids and alkalis and quite insoluble in water. VM BARYTE is selected and process controlled for one or more of the following properties: color, particle size, specific gravity and bulk density.

Key Applications

  • Paints & Coatings: All Barium Sulfate types find use here. Micronized Vasu Minechem Baryte improves dispersion and performance. VM BARYTE series' high density enhances opacity, while its chemical inertness ensures long-lasting performance. BARYTE VM-PBS, with its extremely fine particles, creates a high-gloss finish.

  • Plastics & Rubber: All types could act as fillers or extenders, influencing rigidity and cost.

  • Oil & Gas Drilling (Vasu Minechem Baryte): Its high density makes it potentially suitable as a weighting agent.
