Hourglass Barifine

Barifine

Barifine products are manufactured from high grade, low silica and low lead natural Barium Sulphate.

The Barifine range is off-white in colour and has been developed specifically for industrial primers, paint, brake lining/friction materials, ceramics, sound absorption and elastomer markets.

The Barifine range consists of three grades Barifine B80, an 80 micron top size product down to Barifine B20, a 20 micron top size product with a mean (d50) of 5 microns.

The Barifine grades are unique, offering high purity, ultra low lead content and low levels of silica. They are a cost effective alternative to the more expensive pure white grades.
