Barite is one amongst the foremost common and high usage mineral with BaSO4 general formula that our company exporting this with any varied grads, density, meshing and different specification special for some works like gas and oil drilling, medical and cosmetics, civil and constructions, fluidizing, barium chemicals, ceramics and plenty different fields that mention in flowing. However, our most exportation refers to drilling barite that uses to creating drilling fluid.
Types of Barite Mineral
Barite is a versatile mineral with a wide range of applications. ATDM supports various types of barite for different industries. It is typically classified into two main categories: crystal and drilling barite. These types differ in meshing, density, hardness, and iron content. Barite is available in meshing sizes from 200 to 2000, with densities ranging from 1 to 4.5. Additionally, it meets industry standards like API and OCMA certifications.
Barite Packing
ATDM offers a variety of packing options for barite. We provide packaging in 15 kg plastic bags on wooden pallets or 1.5-ton jumbo bags. Our packing ensures the safety of orders and simplifies shipping. Due to barite’s high density, it is typically transported by vessel. Depending on the destination climate, we offer packaging that can withstand temperatures up to 500°F.
Applications of Barite Mineral
Barite is primarily used for gas and oil well drilling, with 75% of the mineral’s usage dedicated to this application. However, barite also has numerous other applications. It is essential in paper manufacturing, rubber and resin production, textiles, ink, plastics, TV lamps, copper oxygenation, X-ray lamps, brake pads, and more. ATDM supplies barite for these diverse uses, meeting global market demands.
Barite Occurrence
Barite forms as concretions and void-filling crystals in sedimentary and igneous rocks. It commonly appears in rock and dolostone as vein fillings and concretions. Where carbonate rock units undergo significant weathering, large accumulations of barite form at the soil-bedrock interface. Barite can also be found as concretions in sandstone, where it crystallizes between sand grains and forms unique structures called “barite roses.”
Additional Occurrence
Barite is a common mineral in hydrothermal veins, often associated with sulfide ore veins. It occurs alongside ores of antimony, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, and silver. In some regions, barite forms as deposits in hot springs.
Our Barite Mineral Supply is trusted globally for its quality, versatility, and wide range of applications.
