The term Barytes is derived from the Greek word baros, meaning “heavy.” Barite is a naturally occurring mineral form of barium sulphate (BaSO?), found in various regions across the globe. It is extracted through both surface and underground mining methods.
Barite is recognized for its high specific gravity (4.2-4.5), very low solubility, non-toxic nature, and its chemically and physically non-reactive properties. It is also valued for its low abrasiveness and opaqueness to X-rays and gamma rays. These unique properties make it an important raw material for diverse industries.
At Aqeel Chemical & Processing Unit, we supply and export Barite in both lumps and powder form, ensuring quality and consistency to meet varied industrial requirements.
