PRODUCT USAGE

Barium sulfate is a high-density, chemically inert white powder. In the medical field, it serves as the core component of barium meal contrast agents; when ingested by patients, it clearly outlines the digestive tract for X-ray examination and diagnosis of stomach and intestinal diseases. In the coatings industry, it is used as an extender pigment and filler, increasing film thickness, improving weather resistance and chemical resistance, while its high specific gravity and low oil absorption help reduce production costs. In the plastics and rubber industries, it enhances the rigidity, density, and surface gloss of products. Additionally, it plays important roles in inks, ceramics, and radiation shielding materials. Its advantages include non-toxicity, acid and alkali resistance, and high whiteness.
