Report on the application of Hongzhi Precipitated Barium Sulfate M Series in coatings, paints and inks
1. Product characteristics
● Ultra-fine particle size
● High purity
● High whiteness
● Chemical inertness, acid and alkali resistant
● Particle size distribution is concentrated
● Low Mohs hardness, small wear
2. Product introduction
● Precipitated barium sulfate M series of Hongzhi New Materials is produced by the original "barium carbonate-sulfuric acid”reaction way, which has advantages of high purity, good whiteness and concentrated particle size distribution.
● Due to its excellent light retention and thixotropy, it is widely used in coatings and inks. As a functional filler, M series precipitated barium sulfate products adapt to the future development trend of coatings.
● In the high solid content and low viscosity formulation design, it requires the product performance should be improved and the emission of volatile substances (VOCs) should be greatly reduced.
● According to the different characteristics and functions of customers' products, M series precipitated barium sulfate can meet individual needs.

5. Product application
In a test based on PU paint and stoving varnish systems, M series precipitated barium sulfate when acting as a pigment extender or pigment co-dispersant, test as below:
Item | Pure TiO2 | Add Blanc Fixe Micro | Add our M-700A | Add our M-701A |
Color paste fineness | <5μ | <5μ | <5μ | <5μ |
PU paint whiteness | ② | ② | ① | ④ |
PU paint Opacity | ② | ③ | ① | ④ |
PU paint film glossiness | 93.5 | 93.4 | 93.1 | 93.2 |
Stoving varnish film glossiness | 92.8 | 93 | 92.3 | 91.7 |
Film bubbles after boiling for 1 hour | ① | ② | ④ | ③ |
After 2 hours of boiling | Big bubbles mainly | Big bubbles mainly | Few big bubbles | Some big bubbles |
Paint film glossiness after 2 hours of boiling | 80 | 78 | 90 | 88 |
Dispersed in hydroxyl acrylic resin, dispersant to powder 3%, pure titanium dioxide in the color paste concentration of 60%, barium sulfate instead of titanium dioxide 5.6%, additional 5.6%.
The test results show that the overall performance of M-700A is significantly better than that of the German Blanc Fixe Micro.
Among them, the influence on the glossiness and the resistance to boiling property is: M-700A > M-701A> German Blanc Fixe Micro.
Precipitated barium sulfate M series, due to its excellent light retention and mechanical properties, is used in automotive paint filler systems.
At the same time, it is applied in high-solid coatings in order to replace some pigments and greatly reduce volatile substances (VOCs).
Moreover, the color paste modified by M series still has extremely high gloss and rheological properties even at higher concentrations.
Due to its excellent weather resistance, it is particularly suitable for high light powder coating.
In addition to being used in paints and inks, M series products can be widely used in thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics to improve mechanical properties, enhance impact strength and adjust color and gloss because of the characteristics of vivid color, perfect tone and full surface gloss when combined with pigments.
In addition, it is particularly suitable for use as an inflator of elastomers, which will not affect storage stability and aging resis.
