Matting barium sulfate mainly plays the role of matting and matte, and has broad application prospects in the field of coatings.

Matt barium sulfate, also known as barite powder, is a sulfate mineral whose crystal belongs to the orthorhombic (rhombic) crystal system. It is non-toxic, tasteless, insoluble in water, acid, alkali and organic solvents, and is only soluble in strong acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. Matt barium sulfate has excellent light resistance, weather resistance, temperature resistance, dispersion, matt properties, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. It can be widely used in plastics, paints, pigments, coatings, ceramics, inks, rubber and other fields. to matte and matte effects.

Coatings and paints can be widely used in indoor and outdoor walls, ceilings, homes, doors and windows, cars, ships, industrial machinery and other scenes, and are closely related to human daily life. If the gloss of the coating is too high, it will have adverse effects on human vision. It can easily cause visual fatigue and lead to more serious accidents. Therefore, coatings and paints often need to be matted during production, that is, the step of reducing the gloss of the material surface. After matting, the material surface will show a soft and relatively dull luster, which is more friendly to human vision.

The materials required for matting traditional coatings and paints are matting agents, including ultrafine silica, micronized wax, stearates of aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, etc. Among them, ultrafine silica is the most widely used and has the best performance, but the cost is higher. Compared with ultrafine silica, matt barium sulfate, as an important type of paint filler, can not only matt the paint, reduce the application of matting agents, thereby reducing the cost of paint production, but also effectively improve the performance of the paint and enhance the durability of the paint. strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

Matt barium sulfate has high application advantages in coating production. Currently, under the background of the steady development of the domestic coatings industry, its demand continues to increase. According to the“2023-2028 Matt Barium Sulfate Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the domestic barium sulfate used in the coating field will exceed 1.3 billion yuan in 2022, and matte barium sulfate, as one of the subdivided products of barium sulfate, has broad development space in the market.

The main manufacturers of matt barium sulfate in my country include Yidu Aoda Industrial, Henan Baifeng Chemical, Henan Chenma New Materials, Guangdong Yufeng Powder Materials, Jiangsu Qunxin Powder Technology, Guizhou Weihang Mining, Yichang Zhongtai New Materials, etc. , the number of enterprises is still relatively small, and they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises.

Industry analysts said that matt barium sulfate is an important industrial raw material and can be widely used in coatings , paint, rubber, plastic and other fields. Matting is one of the important links required for coating production. Under the background of the steady development of the domestic coatings industry, the demand for matting barium sulfate continues to increase, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, at present, the number of matt barium sulfate production enterprises in my country is relatively small and the technical level is low. There is still much room for development in the industry in the future.
