2. Product Overview

Barite, also known as barium sulfate (BaSO₄), is a naturally occurring mineral characterized by its high specific gravity, chemical inertness, and white color. It is the primary source of barium and is widely used in various industries. The most significant application of barite is as a weighting agent in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration, where its high density helps to counteract high formation pressures and prevent blowouts. Drilling-grade barite must meet strict API 13A specifications, including a specific gravity of at least 4.20 g/cm³ and controlled particle size distribution.

In addition to its use in drilling fluids, Iranian barite is employed as a functional filler in paints and coatings, providing opacity, brightness, and chemical resistance. In rubber compounds, it acts as an inert filler that improves processing and mechanical properties. In ceramics, barite contributes to the formation of a smooth, glossy surface and enhances the whiteness of the final product. The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company supplies barite in various grades and mesh sizes to meet the specific requirements of each application.

Sourcing & Procurement: The procurement team conducts rigorous supplier qualification, evaluating mineral quality, processing capability, and export track record. The department negotiates favorable pricing and terms, verifies legal compliance, and secures production slots.

Sample Dispatch: Clients can request free or commercial samples of barite in specific mesh sizes, accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and material safety data sheet (MSDS). Sample lead times are typically 5–10 business days.

Custom Manufacturing (OEM/ODM): The department coordinates OEM/ODM production with qualified processing partners for custom mesh sizes, surface treatments, or private-label packaging.

Pre-Shipment Quality Control: The department implements pre-shipment quality control at the supplier's facility before loading. The QC team verifies specific gravity, BaSO₄ content, particle size distribution, moisture content, and chemical composition against the agreed specification.

Loading & Handling: Professional loading and handling procedures protect product integrity during container stuffing. Barite bags are palletized, stretch-wrapped, and secured to prevent shifting during transit.

Export Documentation: The department prepares and manages all export documentation required for barite shipments, including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin (COO), Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Bill of Lading, and Insurance Certificate (upon request).

International Transportation: The department arranges international transportation via sea freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, or land transport depending on destination and urgency.

Export Customs Clearance: Customs brokers handle export customs clearance at ports and border crossings, including the preparation of export declarations and compliance with export regulations.

Import Customs Clearance: For clients requiring support at destination, the department can arrange import customs clearance through trusted local partners in Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Central Asian countries.
