Ultrafine barium sulfate has a wide range of applications and a large number of companies with global presence.

Ultrafine barium sulfate, the full name of which is ultrafine precipitated barium sulfate, refers to a type of white amorphous powder produced by chemical deposition method. Its physical properties, purity, whiteness and other indicators are better than ultrafine natural barium sulfate. Ultrafine barium sulfate has a barium sulfate content of more than 98% and a powder particle size of less than 1 μm. It has the advantages of high whiteness, high gloss, no black spots, and no impurities, as well as stable chemical properties, strong acid resistance, and good corrosion resistance. , excellent high temperature resistance, strong wear resistance and other good properties, it is widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, paint, ink, medicine, papermaking, ceramics and other fields.

Specifically, in the field of coatings, ultrafine barium sulfate is mainly used as a filler in oil-based coatings, water-based coatings, special coatings, and powder coating production scenarios to improve coating properties; in the fields of plastics and rubber, it can be used as raw materials In composite material production scenarios, it plays a role in enhancing the toughness and strength of composite materials. It can also be used in the cooling and crystallization process of polymers to accelerate the crystallization rate and improve crystallinity. In the field of inks, it can be used as a dispersant and filler for colored materials. Pigment and ink manufacturing scenarios; in the medical field, it can be used as an auxiliary agent and additive in X-ray dual contrast imaging technology.

According to the “China Ultrafine Barium Sulfate Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that ultrafine barium sulfate has a wide range of applications, and with the rapid development of the downstream market, its market size continues to expand. The global ultrafine barium sulfate market size will be approximately US$380 million in 2022, with a year-on-year growth of 6.3%.

Globally, the major companies in the ultrafine barium sulfate market include American Panerto, American CIMBAR, Belgium’s Solvay Group, Japan’s Nippon Chemical Industry, Japan’s Sakai Chemical Industry and other international companies, as well as Shenzhou Jiaxin Chemical and Qingdao Hongxing Chemical Group. , Shaanxi Fuhua Chemical Industry, Guangxi Xiangzhou Liangzhuang Chemical Industry, Yunfu Hongzhi New Materials, Shanghai Tengmin Industrial, Yichang Zhongtai Chemical Industry, Foshan Anyi Nano Materials and other Chinese companies.

At present, the global ultrafine barium sulfate production capacity is mainly concentrated in North America, Europe, Japan, China and other regions. CIMBAR of the United States and Sakai Chemical Industry of Japan are the core suppliers of ultrafine barium sulfate in the world. There are many ultrafine barium sulfate manufacturers in my country. However, compared with leading international companies, local companies still have a larger gap in technology, product quality, performance, etc. gap, we need to continue to maintain R&D and innovation in the future.

Industry analysts said that ultrafine barium sulfate is a type of fine chemical product with excellent performance and can be used in a wide range of industries. It is used in coatings, plastics, inks, medical and other fields, with a wide range of applications and good market development prospects. There are currently a large number of ultrafine barium sulfate manufacturers in the world. The leading companies are mainly concentrated in developed countries such as the United States and Japan. Compared with leading companies, the gap between my country’s ultrafine barium sulfate companies in terms of technology and product performance is still relatively large. Future companies There is still huge room for growth.
