Plastic Industry:- Barites mineral is widely used in plastic industry. It is used as the filling of plastic ABC to create beautiful colorful plastics. It is also very effective in improving the stiffness, intensity and abrasive strength to it thereby making it stronger in strength and beautiful in appearance.
Paper-Making Industry:- This mineral is also used in the papermaking industry. Because of its clean whiteness, the high-refined barites powder is also used for filling white paperboards and coat paper with it. This improves improve the whiteness of the product and also increases the percentage of coverage thereby giving it a clean white look.
Paint Industry:- Barytes is a wonderful replacement to expensive materials used in dope and painting. It is an amazing replacement to basofor, crypton, titanium dioxide, activity and monox which are used for filling. It is very effective in controlling the viscosity of the paint. It is also very effective in increasing the stability of the paint and adding more brightness to the paint. It has a clean whiteness which makes it very effective as an extender for primers. It is highly effective in providing chemical resistance to the walls and smoothness to the undercoats thereby promising beautiful and smooth walls.It is also used as heavy inert filler. It is insoluble in water, has high refractive index, has high resistance to acids and alkalies and high bulk density which makes it all the more useful in the paint industry.
Rubber Industry:- If you are looking for saving costs in the rubber industry then you can always use the barites mineral of less than 500 mesh for filling the rubber products. This is very effective in making the product water proof. It also improves the intensity of the product and makes it acid proof and alkali proof. This increases the life of the product thereby making it more durable.
Pharmaceutical Industry:- Barytes is also used in pharmaceutical industry. It is used as barium meal material for the intestines and stomach reflections. Another important usage of barites in pharmaceutical industry includes the usage for filling of plaster and dope in order to extend the time limit of the plaster. It is also used in diagnostic medical tests. Barites are also very effective in blocking x-rays and gamma-rays emission.
Cosmetics Industry:- Barytes is very popular in the cosmetics industry because of its gentle and mild effect on the skin. It is a wonderful substitute to titanium dioxide. It is widely used in the cosmetics.aThese are different industrial applications of barytes mineral. Surely it is widely used in different industries for different reasons, with each one of them mentioned above.
As A Weighting Agent:- A major amount (77%) of the total Barite found is used as weighting agent for drilling muds. The density of Barytes Powder helps in down-hole flow and bit lubrication.The non-magnetic properties of this material make it more useful for this purpose as it does not interfere with the magnetic measurements of the borehole during the whole process.
Petroleum Drilling:- Blue, black, gray or brown Barite is widely used for petroleum well drilling. The applicable Barite color is selected depending on the ore body.
Automobile Industry:- It is applied for sound reduction in various engine compartments.This mineral is used for making smooth and corrosion resistant coat of trucks and automobiles. Barytes Powder is also used in friction products such as brake pads and clutch surfaces. It is included in sound-deadening sealants and underbody coatings in automobile and other vehicle manufacture.
Ceramic:- It is used in radiation shielding cements and glass ceramics.
Sugar Refining:- This mineral is used for producing barium hydroxide for the purpose of sugar refining
