Description
Summary:Barium sulphate (barytes or barite) is often used as an extender pigment in coatings systems to improve abrasion resistance and gloss retention. Viaton's Airwhite range of barium sulphate extenders is manufactured either from high-whiteness, low-silica, high-purity natural barium sulphate, or from chemically precipitated materials. Airwhite AW4C, for example, is an ultrafine, high-purity coated white extender that is used in surface coatings.
