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.
