Wufeng Weitai Barium Sulfate for Rubber WT-088 for High-Performance Rubber
Product Overview
Wufeng Weitai Barium Sulfate WT-088 is a specialized micronized barium sulfate engineered to enhance the mechanical properties, processability, and durability of rubber compounds across automotive, industrial, and consumer goods industries. With a tightly controlled particle size distribution (D50: 1.2–1.8 µm) and ultra-high purity (BaSO₄ ≥98.5%), this filler delivers 20–30% higher tensile strength, 15–25% improved abrasion resistance, and 40–50% lower compression set compared to conventional calcium carbonate or clay extenders.
Sourced from natural high-grade baryte ore in Hubei Province and refined through a zero-waste, ISO 9001-certified process, WT-088 optimizes rubber formulations for applications requiring extreme thermal stability (-50°C to 300°C), chemical resistance (pH 1–14), and dynamic load endurance. Its low oil absorption (14–18 g/100g) and hydrophobic surface treatment ensure seamless dispersion in SBR, NBR, EPDM, and silicone rubber matrices, reducing processing energy by 10–15% while maintaining cost efficiency.
Certified under REACH, RoHS, and ISO 14001, WT-088 is the sustainable choice for manufacturers prioritizing performance, regulatory compliance, and ESG goals.
