Technology
We specialise in the manufacture surface treatment of synthetic barium sulfate and natural barium sulphate offering a range of products graded according to raw material source and particle size, down to 0.2 microns sub-micron grain size.
Modified Barium Sulfate
Gemme Micron products are highly dispersible pigments that are chemically and physically inert, They promote superior dispersibility of pigments in coatings and inks or automotive surfacer and topcoats.
