Barite433 is a high grade barite processed from natural ore through several stages of beneficiation process. As a processed barite this material approaches the quality of a precipitated barium sulfate with minimum impurities but at a very economical price.
Typical Properties.
Resistant to acids and alkalis.
Insoluble in water and organic solvents (<0.2%).
An inert product which is lightfast and weather-resistant.
Colour-neutral, due to its low refractive index.
Extremely good wettability due to low specific surface area.
Barite433 is a high grade barite processed from natural ore through several stages of beneficiation process. As a processed barite this material approaches the quality of a precipitated barium sulfate with minimum impurities but at a very economical price.
Typical Properties
Resistant to acids and alkalis
Insoluble in water and organic solvents (<0.2%)
An inert product which is lightfast and weather-resistant
Colour-neutral, due to its low refractive index
Extremely good wettability due to low specific surface area
Storage
Product should be stored unstacked in dry and closed rooms under room temperature and normal humidity.
Applications
Paint Applications: Where whiteness is not of importance, this product is highly cost efficient and will suit in paint manufacturing applications where its high specific gravity of 4.3 - 4.4 and purity of ~96% will give competitive advantage
Adhesives and Rubber: Inert and color-neutral density enhancer in noise and vibration reduction systems. Extension levels up to 80% can be achieved. Excellent for use in adhesives, mastic compounds, epoxy resin sizing pastes, unsaturated polyester and polyurethane systems, and also in glazes and impregnation agents, grinding pastes, lubricants and separating age
In an adhesive or sealant formulation, barium sulfate is an excellent filler choice in specialized applications where X-ray absorbance or chemical resistance is a necessity. In an area where acoustic damping is required, such as a quiet room, barium sulfate is an optimum alternative.

MH-PBS 1/3 are synthetic barium sulfate products offered either in 1 or 3�m sizes and are produced from highly purified reactants in a controlled growth process.
Typical Properties
Resistant to acids and alkalis
Insoluble in water and organic solvents
An inert product which is lightfast and weather-resistant
Colour-neutral, due to its low refractive index
Extremely narrow particle-size range for high gloss specifications
Extremely good wettability due to low specific surface area
Low abrasion during processing due to low Mohs hardness
Storage
Product should be stored unstacked in dry and closed rooms under room temperature and normal humidity.
Applications
Paints & Coatings: Used in weather-resistant and chemical-resistant paint systems. Excellent in matt and semi-matt powder-coating systems due to good rheological properties and compatibility with colored pigments.
Paper: Used as a filler in pulp due to the chemical resistance to acids and alkalis. Excellent retention with uniform particle size structure.
Plastic and Rubber: Inert and color-neutral density enhancer in noise and vibration reduction systems. Extension levels up to 80% can be achieved. Excellent for use in adhesives, mastic compounds, epoxy resin sizing pastes, unsaturated polyester and polyurethane systems, and also in glazes and impregnation agents, grinding pastes, lubricants and separating age
