Barite is a key material for manufacturers of pipes, automobile components, toys, and PVC products.
Barite provides excellent properties to polymers in high percentages due to low resin demand and because of low oil absorption and good processing rheology.
Barite is used as a weighting filler in rubber to make "anti-sail" mud laps for trucks. Due to its resistance to chemical factors, it increases the resistance of the material and lowers the cost by reducing the amount of rubber per unit volume.
