Coarse Barite – Raw Barite (BaSO₄)

Product Description

Coarse Barite (also known as Raw Barite or Barite Lumps) is a natural form of barium sulfate (BaSO₄) supplied in stone or chunk form. With its naturally high density (4.1–4.3), coarse barite is widely used in the drilling, chemical, construction and industrial sectors.

Industrial Uses and Applications

  • Oil drilling: feedstock for grinding into drilling-grade barite powder.
  • Chemical industry: production of barium-based chemicals (BaCl₂, BaCO₃, etc.).
  • Construction: heavy concrete mixes, radiation shielding and industrial mortars.
  • Glass & ceramics: used in high-density glass and glaze formulations.
  • Mineral processing: primary raw material for barite powder & industrial fillers.

Grades and Specifications

  • BaSO₄: 85–92%
  • BaSO₄: 92–95% (high-grade)
  • Density: 4.1–4.3 g/cm³
  • Sizes: 10–50 mm, 50–150 mm or custom

Extraction and Processing

Coarse barite is extracted from open-pit and underground mines, then washed, manually selected, size-graded and tested for BaSO₄ content, density, SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃. It is delivered in its raw, unprocessed state.

Main origins include Pakistan, Morocco, Turkey, Mexico, India and China.
