| Crystalline natural barium sulphate or barytes as it is more commonly known. Chemically inert, all types of barytes are normally considered to be insoluble in water, organic solvents, acid and alkali solutions. Traditionally the Microbar products are used as a white extender that both increases specific gravity and improves chemical resistance. Applications: Traditionally used in products to act as a white extender that both increases specific gravity and improves the chemical resistance of industrial primers and undercoats, Barytes is finding increasing application in the plastics industry. The use of Microbar can promote a faster cure in polyester resins and improve the processing and load bearing properties of polyurethane foams. |
