About Precipitated Barium Carbonate

Precipitated Barium Carbonate

Elevate the performance of your manufacturing processes with our high-quality Precipitated Barium Carbonate. This high-density (4.2865 g/cm), odorless, white crystalline powder is produced using advanced chemical precipitation methods (acting on barium sulfide with sodium carbonate or carbon dioxide monitoring systems), providing an assurance of 98% to 99.5% purity.

Barium Carbonate is resistant to thermal decomposition up to temperatures of about 1300C.

Industrial Applications / Product Benefits

Our technical-grade Precipitated Barium Carbonate is a multifunctional additive, serving as an effective corrective for structural defects in a variety of industrial areas:

Bricks & Tiles

Anti-efflorescence agent that permanently removes soluble sulfates, thus preventing brick surface discoloration and improving overall cohesion.

Ceramics & Glass

Premium flux for ceramic glazes, dielectric capacitors, frits, and hard ferrites. In specialty glass manufacturing, it improves transparency, stability, and the removal of micro-inclusions.

Downstream Chemicals

As a precursor in the production of barium peroxide, barium hydroxide, and barium chloride.

Formulated Rodenticides

As an active toxic component in finished rat poison, at a concentration of 2025%.

Bulk Packaging & B2B Distribution

We provide this chemical in standard 25 kg sacks with guaranteed low-moisture content for uniform dosing and hopper batching. As a domestic manufacturer and supplier, we offer competitive pricing and reliable logistics to meet your production schedules with consistent material supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What is it about the Precipitated Barium Carbonate that makes it desirable for brick and ceramic manufacturers?

A. When added to brick or ceramic clay, it combines with soluble sulfates to form barium sulfate (BaSO), which is virtually insoluble in water. This eliminates efflorescence on the surface of the finished product, restoring the desired appearance and structural integrity.

Q. How does the Barium Carbonate produced by precipitation compare to naturally occurring Witherite?

A. Naturally occurring Witherite tends to have inconsistent impurities, whereas our precipitated Barium Carbonate has a uniform particle size and low moisture content for reliable performance. It also has a 99% purity, which is necessary for many industrial applications.

Q. How does Barium Carbonate affect the melting process in commercial glass furnaces?

A. In commercial glass manufacturing, Barium Carbonate is used as a flux to lower the melting point of the batch materials. It removes undesirable sulfates from the glass, improving the clarity of display and photochromic glass.

Q. What is the recommended packaging for storing Barium Carbonate in a warehouse?

A. The fine powder is packed in 25 kg sacks to prevent moisture ingress and mechanical damage during forklift handling. This packaging is also suitable for hopper batching at the factory.

Q. Can the manufacturer produce Barium Carbonate with a certain particle size for electro-ceramic applications?

A. Yes. The particle size of our Barium Carbonate can be controlled during precipitation to meet the specifications of various applications, including thermistors and capacitors.

Q. How can a domestic buyer check the quality of Barium Carbonate and get a consistent supply?

A. We have an open policy for quality control, and our domestic sales department (TradeIndia) can assist in verifying your order. You can also request test results or product samples before placing an order with us.
