Barimite XF Baryum sulfate Cimbar Extenders / Fillers >> Barium Sulfates Pigments >> Titanium dioxide ADHESIVE Naturally occurring barium sulfate pigments, barytes, are useful in a variety of applications as they are chemically inert (e.g., acid resistant). They have a high density, a low oil absorption, and a low refractive index and they are radiopaque. Hence, they positively impact the performance properties of formulated products. Barimite products are buff colored because of their iron oxide content, and they represent a low cost alternative to blanc fixe and white barytes in applications where filler brightness is a secondary issue. Barimite series products have a neutral pH which is an advantage in alkali sensitive formulations. Note: Barytes pigments perform well in high solids, solvent and water borne applications. Like most mineral filler pigments, coarser products tend to be more inexpensive than finer products Barimite XF - is a general purpose grade of barytes. Its topsize is fine enough for it to be used in many high gloss and semi-gloss enamels, but it is also used in a variety of primers, plastics and other applications where a smooth surface is required and/or where abrasion may be an issue. “XF” is often the reinforcing filler of choice in black and darker colored rubber compounds Barium sulfate pigment. Used as filler in adhesives. Suits for a variety of applications where a smooth surface is required and/or where abrasion may be an issue. Performs well in high solids, solvent and water borne applications. Provides acid resistance. Offers high density, low oil absorption, and radiopacity. Has a neutral pH which is an advantage in alkali sensitive formulations. Chemical analysis: BaSO4: 95%. Al2O3: 0.07%. Fe2O3: 0.4%.
