1)Key Features of the Product
1. High cost performance
Our precipitated barium sulfate exhibits high reflectivity over a broad spectrum. Make sure it stays bright white and neutral in color. This property preserves the natural vibrancy and tone of the pigment. Most pigments tend to clump, reducing their tinting power. Our precipitated barium sulfate is a game-changer, whether you’re working with water-based, solvent-based, or standard pigment pastes. It effectively combats pigment clumping issues across the board. By increasing steric hindrance or electrostatic repulsion, it enhances the cost-efficiency of pigment production. This means you’ll require less of other pigments like titanium dioxide, color pigments, and carbon black.
2. Enhance gloss
Our precipitated barium sulfate has excellent dispersion properties. Coatings exhibit high levels of gloss and rheological properties, even at higher concentrations.
3. Reduced Solvent Content
Our precipitated barium sulfate plays a key role in increasing the solids content of pigment pastes and coatings. while minimizing the need for solvents. The reduction in solvent content has huge implications. Because it directly contributes to environmental well-being. By reducing reliance on solvents, manufacturers can significantly reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Volatile organic compounds are known to be harmful air pollutants. Can adversely affect human health and ecosystems.
The advantage of this reduction is twofold. First, it helps comply with environmental regulations. Make products more environmentally friendly. and helps create a safer, cleaner atmosphere. Second, lower solvent levels in paints and coatings mean those who use these products are less exposed to harmful chemicals. Improvements in occupational safety demonstrate our commitment to promoting a healthier, greener workplace.
4. Shorten grinding time
In the world of paint and coatings manufacturing, reducing grinding time is critical. Traditional pigment production often involves lengthy grinding and dispersion processes. But, our precipitated barium sulfate can shorten these procedures. This time-saving method has several advantages.
Shorter grinding times directly improve production efficiency. Manufacturers can achieve production goals faster, increase productivity, and reduce manufacturing costs. This increased efficiency also allows the company to handle larger projects and growing demand. without compromising product quality or end date.
Additionally, less grinding time results in cost savings. Manufacturers can cut labor expenses and reduce energy consumption. This reduces operating costs, which helps keep prices competitive and products affordable.
5. Excellent weather resistance
Our precipitated barium sulfate has excellent weather resistance. Has significant advantages in the field of paints and coatings. In practical terms, the coating retains its appearance and performance over the long term. Even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
UV resistance is a key factor in this weather resistance. Our precipitated barium sulfate effectively reflects UV radiation in a range of wavelengths. Protects coated surfaces from the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays. This UV protection ensures maintained color, structural integrity, and overall aesthetics over time. Our products extend the life of your paint. It reduces the need for premature maintenance or recoating.
For industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace, our precipitated barium sulfate provides excellent weather resistance. It extends the service life of coated structures.
6. Improved Physical Performance
Our precipitated barium sulfate enhances the physical properties of coatings in several ways. Firstly, it significantly improves interlayer adhesion. It ensures that the coating adheres firmly to the substrate. This makes coatings more durable and less prone to peeling, chipping, or cracking.
Our product enhances coating hardness. It improves the overall elasticity and scratch resistance of the surface. Even when exposed to the rigors of daily wear and tear. Coated objects and structures keep smooth surfaces and structural integrity.
In fact, the improvement in physical properties can maintain its appearance and integrity for a longer period of time. This quality is essential for beauty, durability, and performance. It can be used in architectural, automotive finishing, and industrial equipment coatings.
2)The Use of Precipitated Barium Sulfate in Paints and Coatings
1. Application in Spray Painting
Spray painting is one area where precipitated barium sulfate shines. Its unique qualities, such as even particle distribution, high whiteness and minimal clumping, contribute to an extremely smooth paint finish. Impressive translucency can also be achieved. These features set it apart from other products when it comes to spray paint.
Also, it has excellent waterproof and corrosion resistance. Maintains its appearance and color stability under the harshest outdoor conditions. This durability extends its lifespan. So it is a cost-effective choice for projects that need long-lasting and visually appealing effects. Whether you are a professional painter or a DIY enthusiast, the benefits are obvious.
2. Application as a Filler in Coatings
In the field of coatings, precipitated barium sulfate plays a vital role as a special filler. Especially in the shipbuilding and automotive industries. Its use in thick coatings brings significant enhancements in wear resistance. This is a key factor in protecting the underlying primer and ensuring it remains intact. Manufacturers in these industries unanimously praise the product’s superior performance.
A key advantage of precipitated barium sulfate is its impressive filling capacity. Can reach 80% of its own weight. This exceeds the performance of many other fillers on the market. Its properties include low aggregation, minimal dispersion and fine-grained particles. Making it the first choice for a variety of coating applications. Whether you are painting the exterior of a boat or the body of a car, using precipitated barium sulfate as a filler will provide excellent results.
3. Application in Topcoats
When it comes to topcoats, precipitated barium sulfate is highly recommended. It has excellent properties to improve surface hardness and color stability. So it is a valuable addition to topcoats in a variety of applications. This versatile material can be used effectively with different types of coatings, including primers and high-build coatings.
The unique feature of precipitated barium sulfate is its excellent filling ability. This enables it to perform well in a variety of coating scenarios. This also works for high-fill applications. It maintains uniformity and a smooth surface finish. Its low surface area, and particle size distribution, combined with easy flow during processing, ensure minimal wear.
Additionally, it is known for its acid resistance, especially in latex paints. It proves its worth by maintaining its quality even when exposed to challenging conditions. Its ease of dispersion, gloss, flow, and compatibility with a variety of pigments make it a valuable addition to powder coatings. Improves gloss and overall performance. So, one of the effects of precipitated barium sulfate on topcoats is improved quality, longevity, and durability. It is a versatile and highly regarded choice in the paint industry.
