Products classified under HTS 2511.10.10.00
Ground Barytes Powder for Drilling Mud
Finely ground natural barium sulfate (barytes) processed to a powder form suitable for use as a weighting agent in oil and gas drilling fluids. It falls under HTS 2511.10.10.00 as ground natural barium sulfate, distinguished from unground crude barytes by its pulverized state for industrial applications.
Micronized Ground Barytes Filler
Ultra-fine ground natural barytes with particle sizes under 5 microns, used as a functional filler in paints, coatings, and plastics to enhance density and abrasion resistance. Classified under HTS 2511.10.10.00 due to its origin as ground natural barium sulfate without further chemical alteration.
Ground Witherite Powder
Ground natural barium carbonate (witherite) ore, calcined or not, finely powdered for use in glass manufacturing and pyrotechnics. It qualifies under HTS 2511.10.10.00 as processed natural barium carbonate, separate from barium oxide excluded in 2816.
Ground Barytes for Rubber Compounds
High-density ground barytes powder added to rubber formulations for tire weighting and reinforcement. Falls under HTS 2511.10.10.00 as natural ground barium sulfate, valued for its inert filler properties in industrial compounding.
Superfine Ground Barytes for Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical-grade ground natural barytes, purified and micronized for use as an inert excipient or radio-opaque agent in contrast media. Classified in HTS 2511.10.10.00 as ground natural barium sulfate, provided no medicinal formulation per Chapter 30 exclusion.
Ground Barytes for Paper Coating
Precisely ground barytes used as a pigment extender and coating agent in high-quality paper production to improve opacity and print quality. HTS 2511.10.10.00 applies to this ground natural barium sulfate product.
Calcined Ground Witherite for Ceramics
Lightly calcined and ground natural witherite providing barium source for ceramic glazes and frits. Remains under HTS 2511.10.10.00 as long as not converted to barium oxide.
Ground Barytes for Radiation Shielding
High-purity ground barytes powder incorporated into concrete and plastics for X-ray and gamma shielding due to barium's high atomic number. HTS 2511.10.10.00 for the ground natural mineral form.
Blizzard Ground Barytes Paint Grade
Premium 'Blizzard' white ground barytes for architectural paints, offering superior whiteness and low oil absorption. Specifically ground natural barium sulfate under HTS 2511.10.10.00.
Ground Barytes for Pyrotechnics
Finely ground natural barytes used as oxidizer and density modifier in fireworks and signal flares. Classed in HTS 2511.10.10.00 as inert mineral filler.
