Barite powder: barite powder, also known as precipitated barium sulfate products are mainly used in oil and gas drilling mud weighting agent production lithopone or as an X-ray shielding agent used in medical, atomic energy industry, vehicle brake materials, packing tape, high-grade paint, hospital radiation gravity wall industry.
Barite formed in low-temperature hydrothermal conditions, Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places huge barite veins. Barite is the raw material to extract barium, ground into fine powder can be used for drilling mud weighting agent, labeled fragments can replace the stones to do radiation gravity wall materials; white pigments, coatings and rubber industry can be done, fillers and chemicals and paper industry.
Barite is mainly used in the industrial sector of the petroleum, chemical, paint, filler, of which 80 to 90% for oil drilling mud weighting agent.
