Micro Barium Sulfate is an ultra-fine, high-purity powder (particle size 1-5μm) for coatings, inks, and plastics. It acts as a cost-effective filler that improves wear resistance, opacity, and printability. With excellent dispersion and compatibility, it enhances the mechanical properties of paints, adhesives, and plastic products. Non-toxic and chemically inert, it’s suitable for food-contact materials, industrial coatings, and packaging materials.

MICRO barium sulfate (chemical formula: BaSO₄) is a high-performance synthetic mineral produced from high-purity barium sulfate solution, featuring organic molecule surface treatment. It has an average particle size of 0.5-2μm and a narrow particle size distribution (D90/D10 ≤3), ensuring uniform dispersion in applications. With a low refractive index (1.63) and neutral color tone, it offers excellent acid and alkali resistance (stable in pH 2-12 environments), high temperature resistance (stable up to 800℃), and weather resistance. Importantly, it is non-toxic and non-hazardous, and compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, making it ideal for coating manufacturers, plastic producers, and paint suppliers. Packaging is fully customizable (e.g., 20kg/bag, 500kg/big bag) to fit production line requirements.
Chemical formula: BaSO4
Features: A synthetic barium sulfate made from high-purity solution, its surface is treated with organic molecules, resulting in an average particle size and narrow particle size distribution. Due to its low refractive index, it has a neutral color tone, high glossiness, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, high light and weather resistance, and is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Widely used in coatings and plastics, it can bring a series of benefits to coating formulations and plastic production.
Application: Used in the paint and coating industries.
Packaging: According to the needs of customers to provide packaging.

Product Advantage
Coating & Plastic-Specific Optimization: Tailored for coatings and plastics, our MICRO barium sulfate improves film coverage by 20-30%, enhances scratch resistance of plastic products, and maintains color stability—outperforming general barium sulfate in compatibility with resins.

Coating Manufacturing: Used in water-based coatings, oil-based paints, and industrial coatings to reduce titanium dioxide dosage by 15-20% (lowering production costs), improve film hardness and weather resistance, and enhance color retention for architectural and automotive coatings.
Plastic Production: Added to PP, PE, PVC, and ABS plastics to increase rigidity, heat resistance, and dimensional stability, while maintaining plastic transparency (for clear products) or improving opacity (for opaque products)—ideal for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding processes.
Printing Ink Formulation: Enhances ink glossiness and abrasion resistance, ensuring sharp print patterns and long-term durability for packaging inks and commercial printing inks.
Rubber Industry Application: Improves rubber tensile strength and tear resistance, used in tires, seals, and rubber products to extend service life and reduce aging rates.
Q: Is MICRO barium sulfate toxic?
A: No, it is non-toxic and non-hazardous, and compliant with global safety standards (RoHS, REACH, FDA). It is widely used in food contact packaging materials and children's toy plastics.
Q: What storage conditions are required?
A: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse (temperature 10-30℃, humidity ≤70%), away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Seal the container to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration—agglomerated products can be crushed and sieved for normal use.
Q: Can it be mixed with other additives?
A: Yes, it has excellent compatibility with titanium dioxide, talc, calcium carbonate, and other fillers, as well as with plasticizers, stabilizers, and other additives. We provide compatibility test reports for specific application scenarios upon request.
Q: Do you offer samples for performance testing?
A: Yes, we provide 500g-5kg free samples for coating manufacturers and plastic producers to test dispersion, whiteness, and mechanical properties—sample delivery takes 3-5 days globally.
