Barite Powder

Barite Powder or barite (BaSO4) is a mineral consisting of barium sulphate.[2] The baryte group consists of baryte, celestine, anglesite and anhydrite. Baryte is generally white or colourless and is the main source of barium. Baryte and Celestine form a solid solution (Ba,Sr)SO4Other uses are in added-value applications which include filler in paint and plastics, sound reduction in engine compartments, coat of automobile finishes for smoothness and corrosion resistance, friction products for automobiles and trucks, radiation-shielding cement, glass ceramics and medical applications (for example, a barium meal before a contrast CAT scan). It is also used to produce other barium chemicals, notably barium carbonate which is used for the manufacture of LED glass for television and computer screens ( historically in cathode ray tubes); and for dielectrics.
