What is Barium Sulphate? It is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaSO4. It is a white crystalline solid that is odourless and insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and materials prepared from it. The white opaque appearance and its high density are exploited in its main applications.
Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Barium Sulphate, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in industrial, research, and manufacturing applications.
Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.
Frequent Uses
Medical
Widely used in medical imaging as a contrast agent, particularly for X-rays and CT scans of the digestive system. It's administered orally or rectally to coat the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, making these areas visible on imaging due to its radiopaque nature.
Pigments and Dyes
It is a component in white pigments and dyes used in various products.
Oil Well Drilling
Added to drilling fluids to increase their density, which is crucial for drilling operations in oil wells.
Plastic Production
Can be used to increase the density of plastics.
