The inorganic compound Barium Sulfate, often known as Baritop, Barosperse, and Barite has the chemical formula BaSO4. It is a crystalline white substance that is odorless and water-insoluble. It is found in the mineral Barite, which is the most common commercial source of Barium and barium-based products. Its principal applications take advantage of its white opaque look and great density. About 80% of the world’s Barium Sulfate production end up as an oil-well drilling fluid. It raises the density of the drilling fluid leading to an increase in the hydrostatic pressure in the well and lowers the risk of a blowout. A USP Grade chemical is the one that conforms to the criteria of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). A substance that has received the USP Grade certification can be used in food, drug, or medical applications. Because of its great purity, our Barium Sulfate, USP Grade is a USP Grade chemical. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley is selling its high-quality Barium Sulfate, USP Grade online at laballey.com.
