XM-BA13 is an industrial white barium sulfate powder with a natural-barite designation and a minimum BaSO4 purity of 60%. Its paint enquiry should use that specific assay requirement, the D97 of 13.3 microns and the relevant binder specification as distinct acceptance criteria.
Start with the actual XM-BA13 composition
A minimum 60% sulfate assay leaves the remaining composition important to the material decision. Request a current analysis identifying the relevant mineral constituents and impurities, and confirm the offered natural-material route before treating this grade as equivalent to another barium sulfate powder.
Connect D97 and whiteness to the coating target
The 13.3 micron D97 gives a defined distribution criterion, while the whiteness requirement is at least 90%. Confirm the particle method and optical reference separately, then assess the powder in the actual coating rather than assuming these values establish hiding, film appearance or compatibility.
- Specify the paint binder and process for the XM-BA13 comparison.
- Agree the minimum assay and relevant impurity limits.
- Request a measured size curve and an agreed whiteness test.
Include the alkaline pH criterion in qualification
The pH requirement is at least 9, with a loss-on-ignition value of 2.5%. Confirm the pH preparation and ignition conditions before comparing results; neither value should be transferred from a different grade carrying the same model label.
Powder coatings, plastics and rubber are also identified directions, each requiring its own formulation assessment. For the paint project, obtain current technical and safety documentation and any applicable certificate, then use a representative binder trial to establish whether this particular mineral specification meets the intended finish.
