■Overview
Barium sulfate is an extremely chemically stable compound with high heat, chemical, and water resistance. It is used as a general extender pigment due to its high true specific gravity and refractive index equivalent to plastic.
Especially, barium sulfate with extremely fine particles has characteristics to contribute to improving dispersivity and chromogenic of colored pigments, the orientation of bright pigments, and smoother coating.
In addition, we also offer grades that are suitable for hygienic products and medical use that are compliant with standards for quasi-drugs raw materials.
