High-density, chemically inert mineral (BaSO₄) supplied in API drilling grade and industrial grades. Trusted by oil & gas operators, paint manufacturers, plastics compounders and industrial processors across Malaysia.
Quick Specifications
What Is Barite?
Barite (Barium Sulphate, BaSO₄) is a naturally occurring mineral renowned for its exceptionally high specific gravity — typically 4.2 to 4.5 g/cm³ — combined with near-complete chemical inertness. These properties make it indispensable as a weighting agent in oil & gas drilling muds, where it controls wellbore pressure and prevents blowouts.
Beyond drilling, Barite serves as a premium functional filler and extender in paints & coatings, plastics, rubber, adhesives and radiation shielding applications. Its white colour, brightness and fine particle size make micronised grades ideal for demanding coating formulations.
Delta Corp supplies Barite in API-certified drilling grade and a range of industrial grades to customers throughout Malaysia — from upstream oil & gas operators to paint manufacturers, compounders and industrial processors.
Why Delta Corp? We stock certified API drilling grade and industrial-grade Barite in Malaysia for immediate dispatch — no long lead times, reliable documentation, and competitive ex-works pricing.
Why Barite?
Barite's unique combination of high density, chemical stability and whiteness creates compelling value across multiple industries:
- Highest specific gravity among common industrial minerals (4.2–4.5 g/cm³)
- Chemically inert — does not react with drilling fluids, acids or alkalis
- Non-toxic, non-magnetic and non-radioactive
- Excellent whiteness & brightness for coatings and plastics
- High refractive index contributing to opacity in paint formulations
- Resistant to acid, alkali and solvents after processing
- Naturally occurring, abundant and cost-effective mineral
- Available in multiple particle sizes from coarse powder to micronised grades
Product Advantages
Our Barite supply is quality-verified and certified, designed for industrial customers who require consistent specifications, reliable availability and full technical support.
Ultra-High Density
Specific gravity ≥ 4.20 g/cm³ — the highest of any common drilling mineral — delivering superior mud weight at lower volume addition.
Chemically Inert
Does not react with brine, acids, polymer drilling systems or formation fluids — ensuring drilling fluid stability and wellbore integrity.
API 13A / ISO 13500 Certified
Drilling grade Barite meets API Specification 13A Section 1 — the recognised international standard for drilling fluid weighting materials.
Superior Whiteness
High brightness (≥ 94 ISO) and low oil absorption make industrial grades ideal for premium white paints, coatings and plastics.
Radiation Shielding
High atomic number of Barium provides effective X-ray and gamma-ray attenuation for medical, nuclear and protective concrete applications.
Flexible Packaging
Available in 25 kg paper/PP bags, 500 kg jumbo bags or 1 MT bulk bags. Custom packing on request for large volume orders.
Ready Stock in Malaysia
Stocked in Shah Alam, Selangor for prompt dispatch to Peninsular and East Malaysia. Competitive lead times with reliable documentation.
Full Technical Documentation
COA, MSDS/SDS, TDS, and packing lists provided for every shipment. API conformance certificates available for drilling-grade supply.

Why Barite Is Essential for Malaysian Industry
Malaysia's active upstream oil & gas sector, growing manufacturing base and infrastructure development drive consistent demand for high-quality Barite supply.
Active Oil & Gas Upstream Sector
Malaysia is a major oil & gas producer in Southeast Asia. PETRONAS and its PSC partners conduct ongoing offshore and onshore drilling requiring reliable API drilling barite supply.
Growing Paints & Coatings Industry
Malaysia's expanding construction, automotive and marine sectors drive strong demand for industrial and micronised barite as a cost-effective filler and extender in coating formulations.
Plastics & Rubber Manufacturing
Malaysia is a regional hub for rubber and plastics manufacturing. High-density Barite filler improves product performance in automotive sound deadening, vibration dampening and moulded parts.
Hospital & Medical Infrastructure
Ongoing hospital construction and medical facility upgrades across Malaysia require radiation-shielding concrete containing Barite aggregate for X-ray rooms and nuclear medicine facilities.
Chemical Processing Industry
Malaysian chemical manufacturers producing barium compounds — used in ceramics, glass, electronics and specialty chemicals — require consistent, high-purity barite ore as raw material.
Import Dependency & Local Supply Need
Malaysia imports significant quantities of industrial barite. Delta Corp's local stocking and direct supply chain delivers shorter lead times, reliable availability and competitive pricing versus direct import.
