White Barite

Whiteness and Performance for Demanding Applications

White barite is a premium natural filler recognized for its exceptional whiteness, density, and chemical inertness. With a barium sulfate (BaSO₄) content min ≥ 97.2 % and CIE L min ≥ 96, it is the perfect solution for industries requiring both performance and aesthetics. Its high density (~4.4 g/cm³) and low oil absorption make it a cost-effective alternative to titanium dioxide (TiO₂), while providing better performance than calcium carbonate or kaolin.
