Barium sulphate, the primary component of barytes (BaSO₄), is a highly versatile mineral valued for its exceptional specific gravity. This unique property makes it indispensable in various industrial, medical, and manufacturing applications. Additionally, barium sulphate enhances material properties and improves product performance, making it a critical ingredient across multiple industries.
The largest application of barium sulphate, found in barytes, is as a weighing agent in natural gas and oil field drilling. It is also extensively used as a pigment in paints, rubber, paper, and textiles.
Additionally, barium sulphate plays a crucial role in radiation shielding by effectively blocking X-rays and gamma rays. As a result, it is ideal for use in medical aprons, high-density concrete, and protective structures in hospitals, power plants, and laboratories.
