Barite is one of the most important minerals in the world due to its unique chemical composition and physical properties. As a result, it has gained a significant position in various industries such as oil and gas and Drilling.

Given its widespread applications, it is crucial to consider important factors when purchasing barite. In the following, we will discuss how to buy barite and the factors that influence its price. Stay with us for more details.

Buying Barite

To ensure a reliable purchase, you need to pay attention to several key factors when buying barite. Below, we have provided a complete guide for purchasing barite:

• Type of Barite: Barite comes in various types, and you must choose the one that best suits your industry’s needs. For example, for oil and gas drilling, drilling-grade barite is suitable, while high-purity white barite stones are the best choice for the paint and chemical industries.

• Purity and Quality: One of the important factors when buying barite ore is its purity and quality. The higher the barium sulfate percentage, the better the barite mineral quality will be.

• Shape and Granulation: Barite is available in different forms, such as lumps and powder, and the appropriate granulation should be selected based on the industrial need.

For example, purchasing lump barite is ideal for those with crushing facilities, while those needing barite powder for industrial paint and plastic should opt for barite powder.

• Price and Market Conditions: Another crucial factor when buying barite is its price and the current market conditions. Always make sure to check the barite price per ton with reputable producers and buy at the right time.

Additionally, if you’re looking for other industrial minerals, you may want to consider buying gilsonite as a complementary product, often used in similar applications.

• Reliable Supplier: Trusted suppliers like Kanara Sepahan Company, who offer expert support and consultation, are the best option for purchasing barite.

A reliable supplier should be able to offer wholesale barite, export services, and fast delivery. You can safely purchase directly from the factory without intermediaries.

• Shipping and Packaging: Pay attention to the packaging quality during purchase to ensure it meets industry standards. Barite is usually packaged in 25kg bags or 1.5-ton jumbo bags.

Kanara Company is one of the most reputable mineral suppliers in Iran, providing the highest quality barite with high purity. With years of experience in the field, Kanara Company has become one of the leading suppliers in both domestic and international markets.

Barite Price

When discussing the buying and selling of barite, a common question customers have is, “How much does barite cost?” The price of barite ore, like that of bentonite, depends on various factors, which we’ve reviewed below:

• Type and Quality of Barite: Barite is available in various forms, such as white barite, drilling barite, crystalline barite, and export barite stone, each with different pricing.

The price of white barite is usually higher due to its purity and light color. Crystalline barite is also valuable due to its rarity. The price of drilling barite depends on its granulation and specific gravity.

• Form of Supply: Barite is supplied in different forms, such as lumps and powder, each with a different price. Lump barite is typically cheaper than powdered barite because the powder undergoes additional processing, granulation, and quality control.

• Purity and Specific Gravity: The higher the purity and specific gravity of the barite, the higher its price. Barite with a specific gravity of 4.2 or above is highly suitable for drilling and is considered valuable. Also, barite with over 95% purity is priced higher and is suitable for the paint and chemical industries.

• Purchase Volume: The volume of your purchase can also impact the final price of barite. Buying in bulk is more economical. For barite exports, prices are typically calculated based on high volumes, such as per ton.

• Transportation Costs: The distance from the mine to the factory or customer destination can affect the final barite price. Additionally, the high weight of barite makes its transportation more expensive. Furthermore, if you are seeking to diversify your industrial mineral supply, it might be worth considering the hematite price for complementary applications in industries requiring heavier minerals.

Types of Barites

Barite is categorized based on its purity, color, size, and application. Understanding the different types of barites and their characteristics is essential for those intending to buy barite. Below, we review the types and applications of barite:

• White Barite: White barite is one of the most in-demand types due to its light color and high purity. It is highly resistant to chemical changes and is used in the paint industry, plastic manufacturing as a filler, and in calcium chloride production and chemical industries.

• Drilling Barite: This type of barite is crucial in the oil and gas industry due to its high specific gravity. It is suitable for preparing drilling mud and is resistant to pressure and heat. The main application of drilling barite is in the oil and gas industry to prevent blowouts in oil wells.

• Crystalline Barite: Crystalline barite is highly prized for its beautiful crystal structure and appearance, making it ideal for specialty industries such as the glass and crystal industry, decorative mineral products, and certain chemical industries. This type of barite has very high purity and is rare.
