Barium Carbonate High Purity is available in several grades with different chemical purities, shapes and granulometry, all characterized by high reactivity and tightly controlled narrow particle size distribution. These products find their main application in the production of titanates used by the electronic industry for ceramic capacitors and PTC devices.

High Purity Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3 HP CF800), very low in iron, alkaline and earth alkaline elements, for the electronic and optical industry. Calcium Carbonate High Purity (CaCO3 CF800) is a precipitated Calcium Carbonate with controlled particle size and shape and with a very low level of impurities of the alkaline and alkaline earth elements. It is widely used by the electronic industry as dopant in the production of barium titanates for MLCCs and PTCs devices, in the production of calcium zirconates and by the optical industry in the production of special glass.

High Purity Strontium Carbonate (SrCO3 HP SL300), very low in iron, alkaline and earth alkaline elements, for the electronic and optical industry. Strontium Carbonate High Purity (SrCO3 SL300) is a precipitated Strontium Carbonate with controlled particle size and shape and with a very low level of impurities of the alkaline and alkaline earth elements. It is widely used by the electronic industry as dopant in the production of barium titanates for MLCC and PTC devices and in the production of strontium titanates for the electronic industry. It is also widely used as raw material for the production of strontium aluminates in the production of phosphorescent pigments.
