Barium carbonate（Cat No.:R071168）is a white, odorless, heavy powder or granular compound commonly used in ceramics, glass manufacturing, and chemical synthesis. It acts as a flux, matting agent, and crystallizing component in glazes, helping control color and finish. In the brick and tile industry, it neutralizes soluble salts that cause efflorescence. Barium carbonate is also used to synthesize other barium compounds and in specialty pyrotechnic formulations. Though effective, it is toxic if ingested or inhaled, requiring careful handling, proper labeling, and storage in compliance with safety protocols and environmental regulations.
