Details:

Barium sulfate (or sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaSO4.It is a white crystalline solid that is odorless and insoluble in water.About 80% of the world's barium sulphate production, mostly purified mineral is consumed as a component of oil well drilling fluid.It increases the density of the fluid. The majority of synthetic barium sulfate is used as a component of white pigment for paints.A thin layer of barium sulfate called baryta is first coated on the base surface of most photographic paper to increase the reflectiveness of the image.In polypropylene and polystyrene plastics, it is used as a filler in proportions up to 70%. It has an effect of increasing acid and alkali resistance and opacity.

Barium sulfate in suspension is frequently used clinically as a radio contrast agent for X-ray imaging and other diagnostic procedures. Barium sulfate is also used during the procedure of the soil pH test. Barium sulfate is used as a catalyst support. It is also used in Pyrotechnics formulas. As barium sulfate has high burning point and is insoluble in water, it is used as a coating material in casting of copper anode plates.

FAQs of Synthetic Barium Sulphate:

Q: How is Synthetic Barium Sulphate typically used in industrial applications?

A: Synthetic Barium Sulphate is widely employed as a filler, pigment, and extender in the manufacture of paints, coatings, plastics, rubber, paper, ceramics, glass, and other industrial materials. Its high whiteness, chemical inertness, and excellent dispersibility contribute to improved product appearance and performance.

Q: What processes are involved in using Synthetic Barium Sulphate in formulations?

A: The powder is generally mixed directly into the formulation ingredients, where its fine particle size and inert nature help achieve uniform distribution. It does not react with most chemicals, making it compatible with a wide range of resins, binders, and additives.

Q: When should Synthetic Barium Sulphate be chosen over other fillers or pigments?

A: It is ideal when superior whiteness, chemical stability, and UV resistance are required. Industries often select it for applications where non-toxicity and insolubility in water or acids are crucial, ensuring the product remains stable in harsh environments.

Q: Where should Synthetic Barium Sulphate be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: To maintain quality, it should be stored in a dry, cool place within tightly closed containers. This prevents moisture absorption and contamination, guaranteeing a shelf life of up to 24 months under recommended conditions.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Synthetic Barium Sulphate in industrial products?

A: The compound enhances material brightness, extends durability, and improves UV resistance. Its low oil absorption and high purity allow manufacturers to reduce binder use and achieve better cost efficiency while maintaining desirable product properties.

Q: Is Synthetic Barium Sulphate safe to handle and use in production settings?

A: Yes, it is non-poisonous, non-flammable, and stable under normal conditions. There are no special handling hazards, but basic industrial hygiene such as avoiding dust inhalation and wearing protective masks and gloves is recommended.

Q: What is the typical method for incorporating Synthetic Barium Sulphate into paints or coatings?

A: It is usually dispersed into the liquid phase of paints or coatings using standard mixing equipment. Due to its excellent dispersibility and fine particle size, it distributes evenly, providing uniform opacity and brightness.
