Barite Powder

1. Product Overview

Barite Powder is a high-density mineral powder primarily composed of barium sulfate (BaSO₄), valued for its exceptional specific gravity and chemical stability. It is widely used in oil and gas drilling fluids to control formation pressure and improve drilling safety. Its consistent performance, high density, and versatile industrial properties make it a strategic raw material for drilling, construction, coatings, and other specialized applications.
