Natural 1250 Mesh Matt Barium Sulfate - Non-Glossy Finish for Paint and Coating Applications
Product Overview
Natural 1250 Mesh Matt Barium Sulfate is a high-purity, naturally sourced mineral filler engineered to deliver consistent low-gloss finishes (60° gloss ≤5 GU) in solvent-borne, water-based, and powder coating formulations. With its optimized particle size distribution (D50: 8–12 μm / 1250 mesh) and lamellar crystal structure, this barium sulfate achieves 98% light diffusion efficiency while maintaining exceptional chemical inertness (pH 6.5–7.5) and thermal stability (up to 1,580°C). Ideal for matte automotive interiors, architectural wood coatings, and industrial anti-glare systems, it combines zero VOC emissions, low oil absorption (14–18 g/100g), and cost-efficient TiO₂ substitution (15–25% replacement potential) to meet modern sustainability and performance demands.
