Chemically resistant coating to withstand acids, alkalies and corrosive gasses

Floor coating and traffic paints where it densifies the coating and impart wear resistance

Barytes due to high specific gravity and bulk density gives lower oil absorption which is a very much advantageous to increase pigment ratio with out very much affecting the rheological properties of the paint E.g. Flat Wall paint, Traffic Paints and Primer Surfacers etc.

*

Barites Extender due to its excellent resistance to acids and alkalies, finds maximum usage in Chemical resistance coatings

*

Barytes Extender does not have a very high pH value hence it is used in combination with alkali sensitive pigments, (E.g. Lorn Blue and Chrome Green) to impart greater density and compactness to films of paints.

Due to its high specific gravity, Barites settles at the bottom very rapidly to a hard settling. To avoid settling additive like Aluminum Stearate is recommended.
