1. Drilling mud weighting agent: Currently, the primary use of barite powder is as a weighting agent for drilling mud. It generally requires a fineness of 325 mesh or higher, a specific gravity greater than 4.2, a BaSO₄ content of 90% to 95%, and soluble salts of less than 1%.
2. Zinc-barium white pigment: Zinc-barium white is a commonly used high-quality white pigment that serves as a raw material for paints and art pigments. The barite used to produce zinc-barium white pigment must have a fineness of at least 1250 mesh, a BaSO₄ content exceeding 95%, and a whiteness of generally 90 or higher.
3. Various Barium Compounds: Barite can be used as a raw material to produce chemical raw materials such as barium oxide, barium carbonate, barium chloride, barium nitrate, precipitated barium sulfate, and barium hydroxide. The required fineness is generally around 800 mesh.
4. Paint Fillers: Barite powder fillers can increase the thickness, strength, and durability of paint films. Zinc-barium white pigment is also used in the manufacture of white paint, offering more advantages for indoor use than lead white or magnesium white. Barite used in the paint industry requires a fineness of 2000 mesh or higher and a whiteness of 95 or higher.
5. Fillers for the paper, rubber, and plastics industries: These fillers can improve the hardness, abrasion resistance, and aging resistance of rubber and plastics. The fineness requirement is generally between 500 and 1250 mesh.
6. Radiation-shielding cement, mortar, and concrete: These applications primarily utilize barite’s high specific gravity. Impurity content requirements are low, and whiteness is generally not a requirement. A specific gravity of 4.2 or higher is required, with a fineness of approximately 325 mesh.
