The heaviest common mineral — exceptional density, chemical inertness, and radiopacity for drilling, paints, and radiation shielding applications.
Essential product information, composition and performance context.
Barytes (BaSO₄) is a naturally occurring barium sulfate with high specific gravity of 4.2+, making it the densest common non-metallic mineral.
Why Barytes is preferred across demanding industrial formulations.
Comprehensive barytes grades engineered for precise application requirements.
API-compliant barytes for oil and gas drilling fluids as weighting agent.
Premium micronized barytes for paints and coatings with excellent whiteness.
High purity barytes for plastic compounds requiring density and sound dampening.
Special grade barytes for radiation shielding concrete and medical applications.

Important information about Barytes, grades and applications.
Barytes is the primary weighting agent in drilling fluids due to its high specific gravity (4.2+), which helps control well pressure and prevent blowouts.
API 13A is the American Petroleum Institute standard for drilling-grade barytes, specifying minimum specific gravity (4.2), maximum soluble content, and particle size requirements.
Yes, barium sulfate is chemically inert and non-toxic. Unlike soluble barium compounds, BaSO₄ is safe enough to be used internally for medical X-ray imaging.
We offer barytes in various mesh sizes from 200 to 500 mesh, including micronized grades for paints and API grades for drilling.
