The off-color and whitespath qualities produced are used in a wide variety of applications, with paints & coatings, soundproofing (construction/automotive), adhesives & sealants, and brake and clutch linings being just a few examples. In certain areas there is also the possibility of substituting synthetic barium sulfates (Blanc Fixe), as described in this newsletter, or the partial substitution of titanium dioxide.

DEMONSTRABLY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Natural barium sulfate comes out on top in terms of environmental protection compared to synthetically produced barium sulfate. For example, the "Product Carbon Footprint" (PCF) shows a significantly better CO2 balance because the raw material occurs naturally.
