BARIUM SULFATE

CIMBAR Performance Minerals offers a wide variety of barium sulfate products – from the coarse BaraTM 200 grind product used by the industrial rubber industry to the ultra-fine, 1-micron CIMBARTM EX & 0.7-micron CIMBAR BF products for coatings and ink formulations – to meet the ever-changing requirements of the markets we serve.

HIGH-BRIGHTNESS PRODUCTS YIELD UNIQUE PROPERTIES
Our high-brightness CIMBAR barium sulfate products are produced by using only the best quality, bright white, natural barium sulfate ore. Unique properties – fine grind, high specific gravity, low solubility, bright white color, and chemical interness – make them ideal for many applications. Our CIMBARTM PC product is designed for use in powder coatings. Top size control and specifically designed particle size distribution offers superior performance and dispersion.

BUFF-COLORED GRADES SERVE THE FRICTION, RUBBER AND PLASTICS MARKETS
CIMBAR also offers two economical, buff-colored options with our BarimiteTM and Bara grade products. The Barimite grade products are natural barium sulfate produced in Cartersville, GA, using a proprietary process. The clean, high-purity nature of Barimite has made these grades the product of choice for the OE (original equipment) friction market. The Bara products, produced at our Missouri locations, are ideal for rubber and plastic applications where color is a less critical requirement, but particle size control and high specific gravity are desired.

SUSPENGEL™, CAL-BEN™ & HYMAG™

CIMBAR’s Suspengel hydrophilic rheological additives are designed to provide anti-settling properties for a variety of water based systems.

VERSATILE AND RELIABLE PRODUCTS OFFER APPLICATION ADVANTAGES
Suspengel bentonite is used in a wide range of industries including the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, coatings, agricultural and civil engineering applications. Available grades range from the coarser Suspengel 5 & 16 mesh granular grades to our finer 200 mesh and 325 mesh clays. Cal-ben calcium bentonite is used in a variety of environmental applications and pitch removal from paper pulp. Hymag magnesium hydroxide offers flame and smoke suppressing benefits in plastics and other applications.
