⚙️

Grind Options

API 13A 200-mesh ground, or rough-ground (single-pass cone crusher) for further processing.

Why It Matters

Built for the Well, Not Just the Spec Sheet

Barite is the industry-standard weighting agent used to control drilling fluid density, manage downhole pressure, and prevent blowouts. Consistency in specific gravity and fineness directly affects rig-site performance — which is why every shipment is produced and verified against API Spec 13A.

⚖️

4.20 g/cm³

Minimum Specific Gravity

Meets API 13A density requirements for reliable mud-weight control.

🔬

97% / 200

Mesh Passing Rate

Fine, consistent grind for smooth, predictable rheology.

🛡️

≤ 30%

Ultra-Fine Fraction Cap

Sub-6 µm content controlled to limit formation damage risk.

Supply Chain

From Mexican Mines to Global Sites

A short, controlled chain of custody keeps quality consistent and lead times predictable — for barite and the rest of the portfolio.
