Barite

Barite, also known as baryte, is a mineral composed of barium sulfate (BaSO₄). It is renowned for its high density and chemical inertness, making it a vital component in oil and gas drilling fluids.

Beyond drilling, barite is used in paints, coatings, glass manufacturing, and as a filler in plastics and rubber. Its radiation-absorbing properties also make it ideal for use in medical and nuclear applications.
