Natural Barium Sulfate 1250 Mesh - High Purity and Fine Particle Size for Coatings
Product Overview
Natural Barium Sulfate 1250 Mesh is a micronized, inert mineral filler derived from carefully selected barite ore, engineered to optimize coating performance through exceptional purity (>98.5%), ultra-fine particle size (D50: 2–3 μm), and narrow size distribution. Ideal for high-gloss industrial, automotive, and marine coatings, this additive improves film density, UV durability, and corrosion resistance while reducing TiO₂ dependency by up to 30%. Its low oil absorption (14–16 g/100g) and neutral pH ensure stable dispersion in solvent/water-based systems, meeting stringent VOC regulations (EU Directive 2004/42/EC) without compromising flow or leveling properties.
