Xylene, or barite, is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO₄). It typically forms in lead-zinc veins, hot spring deposits, and sedimentary rocks. Known for its high density and chemical inertness, baryte is crucial in the oil and gas industry, particularly in drilling fluids to control well pressure. It is also used in the production of barium-based chemicals, as a filler in paints, plastics, and in radiography for its opacity to X-rays. Baryte usually appears white or colorless but can have other colors due to impurities, making it useful in various industrial applications.
Universal Drilling Fluids collaborates with Xylene, serving as a supplier of oilfield chemicals in Delhi.
