Common questions about Barytes & PPT BaSO₄ in printing inks applications
Precipitated BaSO₄ has ultra-high purity, narrow PSD (0.8–2 µm), and acts as a premium pigment spacer. Natural BaSO₄ provides high-density inert filler loading for cost-effective formulations.
PPT BaSO₄ has a refractive index closely matching common resins (1.63–1.65), becoming nearly transparent in the vehicle while physically separating TiO₂ particles to prevent agglomeration and maximize light scattering.
BaSO₄ is suitable for premium gravure, high-end flexo, white inks, metallic inks, durable packaging inks, and any formulation requiring smooth film, high density, or cost-effective filler loading.
No, BaSO₄'s chemical inertness and stable rheology ensure consistent viscosity and reliable press performance without reactivity toward resins, solvents, or pigments.
Its ultra-high purity (>98–99%), ultra-white color, very low abrasion, and narrow PSD provide premium whiteness, smooth film formation, and protection of anilox rolls and doctor blades.
