Barite
Ground barite to API 13A for drilling fluids, in 4.20 and 4.10 density grades.
HS 2511.10API 13A (drilling grade)Dry bulk
Overview
What it is and where it goes
Barite (barium sulphate, BaSO4) is a heavy mineral used mainly as a weighting agent in drilling fluids.
Ground to API 13A specification, it raises mud density to control formation pressure during oil and gas drilling.
Main applications
Drilling fluidsPaint & coating fillersRadiation-shielding concretePlastics & rubber
