Barium Carbonate
CAS: 513-77-9 | HS: 28366000
BaCO₃ | 197.34 g/mol
Barium Carbonate is an essential flux and scum suppressant in ceramic bodies — converting soluble calcium sulphate to insoluble barium sulphate and preventing white surface deposits on fired tiles. It also lowers the melting point of feldspar glazes in wall and floor tile manufacturing.
Barium Sulphate
CAS: 7727-43-7 | HS: 28332700
BaSO₄ | 233.39 g/mol
Precipitated Barium Sulphate serves as a premium opacifier and whitener in ceramic glazes and enamels. Its chemical inertness at firing temperatures and high refractive index deliver brilliant white opacity and enhanced gloss in porcelain and specialty enamels.
Barium Nitrate
CAS: 10022-31-8 | HS: 28342920
Ba(NO₃)₂ | 261.34 g/mol
In specialty glass and crystal, Barium Nitrate acts as a source of barium oxide at high temperatures, enhancing the refractive index of lead-free optical glass and improving brilliance in crystal tableware.
Zinc Oxide
CAS: 1314-13-2 | HS: 28170010
ZnO | 81.39 g/mol
Zinc Oxide is a dual-function ceramic additive — acting as flux (lowering firing temperature) and opacifier. It forms zinc silicates that create matte surface effects in stoneware glazes and improves thermal shock resistance in technical ceramics.
Barium Hydroxide
CAS: 17194-00-2 | HS: 28259085
Ba(OH)₂ | 171.34 g/mol
Barium Hydroxide is used in specialty glass manufacturing as a glass-forming oxide source and in the production of barium titanate ceramic for capacitors and piezoelectric sensors.
