Barite Powder

We offer optimum quality Barite Powder, which is also known as Barite, Barytes, or the Heavy Spar. The Barite Powder has chemical composition as BaSO₄ (Barium Sulphate). The Barite Powder, we offer, is known for its high specific gravity, low bulking value, low oil absorption, and high resistance to alkalies and acids. Further, the Barite Powder is inert and very stable in nature. Physical Properties
