Product Description
Barite Sand Heavy Density - Oil Drilling Mud Additive, Radiation Shielding, Chemical Raw Material
Barite sand, primarily composed of barium sulfate (BaSO₄), is a naturally occurring high-density non-metallic mineral material. This product is obtained through physical processing such as crushing and screening into sand-like granules. It exhibits outstanding characteristics including high density (4.2-4.5 g/cm³), strong chemical inertness, moderate hardness, and excellent radiation absorption capability.
Core Applications
Well Control in Oil and Gas Drilling
Barite sand serves as the primary weighting agent in drilling mud applications. Adding it to drilling mud significantly increases the mud's density and hydrostatic column pressure, effectively balancing formation pressure to prevent blowouts and wellbore collapse while assisting in carrying cuttings to the surface.
- Prevents catastrophic incidents in deep, ultra-deep, and high-pressure formations
- Cost-effective and efficient solution for safe drilling operations
- Critical for maintaining well control and stability
Radiation Barrier in Nuclear and Medical Protection
Due to its barium content (high atomic number element), barite sand possesses superior absorption and blocking capabilities against X-rays and gamma rays.
- Used as aggregate in radiation-shielding concrete for nuclear power plants
- Essential for hospital radiology departments (CT rooms, radiation therapy rooms)
- Applied in industrial radiography facilities and nuclear waste treatment plants
Functional Filler in Chemical and Material Industries
- High-end coatings and plastic filler - enhances opacity, weatherability, gloss, and film hardness
- Weighting filler in plastics - improves dimensional stability and chemical resistance
- Raw material for barium chemical industry - produces precipitated barium sulfate, barium chloride, barium carbonate, and barium hydroxide
Additional High-Density Applications
- Ballast and weighting material for fishing boats, yachts, and counterweight blocks
- Friction material in brake pads and clutch facings to increase friction coefficient and wear resistance
- Geophysical survey standard density mass in gravity surveys
Product Specifications and Quality
Our barite sand is graded into different specifications including Drilling Grade, Chemical Grade, and Radiation Shielding Grade based on parameters such as density, particle size distribution (per API standards for drilling grade), whiteness, and impurity content.
Key Quality Features:
- Stable and compliant density meeting industry standards
- Uniform and controllable particle size distribution
- Low impurity content (quartz, iron oxide)
- Available in various grades for specific application requirements
We provide high-quality products to oilfield service companies, drilling mud contractors, nuclear and medical engineering firms, chemical plants, and friction material manufacturers. Our technical support team offers selection advice and application guidance to ensure optimal performance in extreme or specialized environments.
