Sparwite prodcts are natural, high purity, fine white barytes mades under stringent quality control procedures. The excellent properties of chemical inertness, low oilabsorption and high brightness, make them ideal for powder coatings,automotive primers, heavy duty industial coatings, semi-gloss and gloss latex applications to name a few. 1.
