Barium Carbonate


Barium Carbonate is a white crystallized powder with a variety of applications. The granular form of barium carbonate is primarily used in the production of display glass, crystal glass, and other specialty glasses. In powder form barium carbonate is used in the ceramic industry as a fluxing material to produce matt glazes, specialty glass, clay bricks, and tiles. It is also employed in the manufacture of barium peroxide, barium hydroxide, and barium chloride. The ultra-fine form of barium carbonate is applied in brine purification.

Primary Applications:

  • Specialty Glass
  • Bricks & Tiles
  • Chemical Compounds
  • Glazes, Frits, and Enamels
  • Electro-ceramic Materials
