Off-White Barite

Off-white barite is a versatile and economical filler-grade material with a BaSO₄ content ≥ 97.2% and a specific gravity of ~4.4 g/cm³. While less bright than white barite, it delivers excellent density, dispersion, and stability, making it ideal for industries where performance and cost-efficiency are key. It also serves as a dependable TiO₂ extender, lowering formulation costs without compromising functionality.
