Barium Sulfate

Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄) is a chemically precipitated, high-purity compound widely used as a filler and functional additive in paints, coatings, pigments, plastics, and lead-acid batteries. Renowned for its outstanding chemical purity and narrow particle size distribution, Barium Sulfate offers excellent dispersion properties, high gloss, and low binder demand. Its extremely low chloride content and reduced electrical conductivity (100 µS/cm) make it ideal for demanding industrial applications. With an average particle size of 1.7 µm and an oil index of 13 g/100g, Barium Sulfate ensures optimal performance in various formulations. It is resistant to water, acids, alkalis, organic solvents, light, and industrial waste gases, including sulfur dioxide. Its versatility and exceptional properties make it a preferred choice for manufacturers in paints, coatings, plastics, and batteries.

Product Specifications

Partially Hydrogenated Gum Rosin, FLORAREZ PR

Partially hydrogenated gum Rosin has a lighter color and is more stable.

Hydrogenated rosin has more resistance to oxidation and has lighter color.
Like unmodified pine rosin, hydrogenated rosin have a wide span of compatibility with almost all polymers. They are well known for their peel and tack contribution to the adhesive. Specific benefits of hydrogenated rosin include:

Lighter color.
Significantly improved stability.
Less to no skin sensitization (depends on the degree of hydrogenation).
Less UV absorption, thus making them suitable for UV curable polymer based adhesives.
Imparts only a slight decrease of cohesive strength, especially in block co-polymer systems.
Can be used in amorphous polyolefin based adhesives.
CAS Number: 65997-06-0
