It is one of the most important weighting agents in oilfield drilling fluids and a versatile high-density filler across paint, plastics and rubber industries. **Industry application.** Barite's exceptional density and chemical inertness make it the global standard high-SG industrial filler. Paint and coating manufacturers use it for stable opacity, gloss control and corrosion resistance; plastics and rubber compounders use it as a reinforcing filler and sound damper in automotive panels and floor tiles; and the medical sector uses pharmaceutical-grade barite as the X-ray and gamma-ray contrast medium for radiology. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Barite is the single most important weighting agent in oilfield drilling muds. API 13A drilling-grade barite (specific gravity ≥ 4.20) is added to both water-based and oil-based muds to raise hydrostatic pressure and balance downhole formation pressures — without it, deep-well drilling, and especially HPHT (high-pressure / high-temperature) wells, would not be possible. We supply API-spec drilling barite in lump, ground (200/325 mesh) and micronised forms for direct rig-site consumption or mud-plant blending. **Available grades:** API 13A drilling grade (SG ≥ 4.20); Paint & coating grade (high whiteness, low Fe); Plastic & rubber filler grade (micronised); Pharma / radiology contrast grade. **Physical forms:** Lumps; Crushed 0–10 mm; Powder 200/325 mesh; Micronised 5–10 μm. **Packaging:** 25 kg / 50 kg PP bags; 1 MT jumbo bags; Bulk vessel. **Industries served:** Oil & Gas drilling; Paint & coatings; Plastics & rubber; Glass industry; Pharmaceuticals; Friction materials. **Key features:** Very high specific gravity (4.2–4.5); Chemically inert, non-toxic; Low oil absorption, easy dispersion; Excellent X-ray and gamma-ray shielding. **Quality & standards:** API 13A specification for drilling-grade barite; ISO 9001 supplier quality assurance. --- ### White Bentonite (Purified Bentonite Clay) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/bentonite - **Typical purity:** Montmorillonite content ≥ 80% (drilling and foundry grades) A highly absorbent smectite clay mineral with excellent swelling properties. **Overview.** Bentonite is a smectite (montmorillonite) clay that swells and forms thixotropic gels in water, making it the foundation of water-based drilling muds, foundry green-sand binders and a wide range of civil-construction and cosmetic applications. **Industry application.** Bentonite's swelling clay structure makes it indispensable across multiple industries. Foundries rely on it as a green-sand mould binder for ferrous and non-ferrous casting; civil contractors use it for slurry-trench walls, tunnel-boring face support and bored-pile stabilisation; cosmetic and personal-care formulators use purified grades in masks, clays and skincare lines; and edible-oil refineries use activated bentonite as a bleaching earth for vegetable-oil decolourisation. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Bentonite is the foundation of every water-based drilling mud. API 13A sodium bentonite is the primary viscosifier and fluid-loss agent that gives drilling mud its filter-cake-forming and shale-stabilising properties — suspending drill cuttings, sealing porous formations and protecting the wellbore wall. It is as critical to a rig as the bit itself. We supply API-spec drilling-grade bentonite in 25/50 kg sacks, 1 MT jumbo bags or bulk for mud plants and rig sites across the region. **Available grades:** Sodium bentonite — high swelling, drilling grade; Calcium bentonite — foundry & cat-litter grade; Activated bentonite — bleaching earth for oils; Cosmetic / pharma grade. **Physical forms:** Granules 0–2 mm; Powder 200 mesh; Micronised 325 mesh. **Packaging:** 25 kg / 50 kg paper or PP bags; 1 MT jumbo bags; Bulk. **Industries served:** Oil & Gas drilling; Foundry casting; Civil engineering (slurry walls, tunnelling); Cat litter; Cosmetics & personal care; Edible oil refining. **Key features:** High swelling index (24–30 ml/2 g sodium grade); Excellent thixotropy and viscosity build; Low fluid-loss in drilling muds; Strong adsorbent for oils and impurities. **Quality & standards:** API 13A spec for drilling-grade bentonite; Cosmetic grade per CTFA/INCI. --- ### Dolomite (Calcium Magnesium Carbonate) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/dolomite - **Typical purity:** MgO 18–21%, CaO 30–32%, low silica & iron A versatile carbonate mineral known for its strength and neutralizing properties. **Overview.** Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (CaMg(CO₃)₂) used as an industrial mineral, flux in iron & steel, soil conditioner, and an essential raw material for glass and ceramic manufacturing. **Industry application.** Dolomite's high magnesia content makes it a critical raw material for the steel industry, used as a basic refractory lining and as a slag-conditioning flux in basic-oxygen and electric-arc furnaces. Glass and ceramic plants use it to control melt viscosity and improve chemical durability, while construction projects use crushed dolomite as a high-strength aggregate for concrete and road base.

It is also a binder in foundry casting sands, a gloss-and-adhesion booster in printing inks and dark-toned paints, and a tackifier in industrial adhesives and roofing compounds. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Selected drilling-grade gilsonite is added to both water-based and oil-based drilling fluids as a premium fluid-loss control agent and wellbore-stability additive. It seals microfractures, plates onto reactive shales to prevent water invasion, and improves filter-cake quality in HPHT and depleted-zone drilling. Low-ash, high-softening-point grades are particularly valued in deepwater, shale-gas and high-temperature drilling campaigns. **Available grades:** Selected drilling grade (low ash, high purity); Asphalt modifier grade (mid softening point); Ink & paint grade (high softening point); Foundry grade. **Physical forms:** Lumps; Granules 0–3 mm; Powder 30/80/200 mesh. **Packaging:** 25 kg / 50 kg multi-wall bags; 1 MT jumbo bags. **Industries served:** Asphalt modification & road paving; Drilling fluids; Foundry & casting; Printing inks & paints; Adhesives & sealants. **Key features:** Naturally compatible with bitumen; Improves rutting & fatigue resistance of asphalt; Excellent fluid-loss control in oil-based muds; Strong adhesion and gloss in inks/coatings. **Quality & standards:** Specifications by softening point, ash content, penetration and solubility per batch CoA. --- ### Hematite (Iron Ore (Fe₂O₃)) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/hematite - **Typical purity:** Fe 60–67%, low S & P High-grade iron oxide mineral with 60%+ Fe content. **Overview.** Hematite is a high-density iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) used as the primary feedstock for steel production, as a high-SG weighting agent in drilling fluids and as a natural red/brown pigment. **Industry application.** Hematite is the backbone of global steel production — supplying iron units to blast furnaces, direct-reduction (DRI) plants and electric-arc shops. Higher-purity micronised grades serve as a stable natural red/brown pigment for paints, concrete colouring, ceramics and cosmetics, while ferro-alloy producers use lump hematite to trim furnace chemistry. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Hematite (specific gravity ~ 5.0) is the leading alternative weighting agent to barite in oilfield drilling fluids, used where mud densities above 22 ppg are required or where barite supply and cost drive substitution. Drilling-grade hematite is also lower in abrasive sulphates than some barite sources, which helps protect mud pumps, swivels and BOP equipment during long offshore and HPHT campaigns. We supply micronised drilling-grade hematite for direct mud-plant use. **Available grades:** Steel-grade lump / sinter feed; Drilling-grade (high SG ~5.0); Pigment grade (micronised). **Physical forms:** Lumps 10–40 mm; Fines / sinter feed; Micronised powder. **Packaging:** Bulk vessel; 1 MT jumbo bags; 25 kg bags (pigment). **Industries served:** Iron & Steel; Ferro-alloys; Oil & Gas drilling; Pigments & coatings. **Key features:** High iron content with low impurities; Specific gravity ~5.0 — alternative to barite where chemistry allows; Stable natural red/brown colour. **Quality & standards:** Customer-specific chemistry per CoA; ISO 9001 supplier QA. --- ### Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O)) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/gypsum - **Typical purity:** CaSO₄·2H₂O ≥ 85% (cement grade), ≥ 92% (plaster grade) A widely used sulfate mineral essential in construction and agriculture. **Overview.** Gypsum is a hydrated calcium sulfate used worldwide as a cement set-retarder, the core ingredient of plaster and drywall, and a high-value soil amendment that improves soil structure and remediates sodicity. **Industry application.** Gypsum is the world's most-used cement set-retarder — every Portland cement plant adds 3–5% gypsum to clinker to control flash setting. Plasterboard and Plaster-of-Paris factories convert higher-purity gypsum into wallboard, ceiling systems and decorative finishes that line the interiors of nearly every modern building. Agricultural-grade gypsum is used to remediate sodic soils, improve soil structure and supply calcium and sulphur to crops without altering pH. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Gypsum is the active ingredient in gyp muds — calcium-treated water-based drilling fluids used in formations that contain reactive shales, anhydrite stringers or salt sections. The dissolved calcium sulfate suppresses clay swelling and stabilises the wellbore against sloughing. Fine-ground drilling-grade gypsum is supplied to mud plants for fast dissolution and consistent calcium activity in the system. **Available grades:** Cement-grade gypsum (retarder); Plaster of Paris precursor; Drywall / wallboard grade; Agricultural gypsum. **Physical forms:** Lumps; Crushed 0–30 mm; Granular; Powder. **Packaging:** Bulk vessel; 1 MT jumbo bags; 25/50 kg bags. **Industries served:** Cement plants; Plaster & drywall manufacturing; Agriculture; Soil remediation. **Key features:** Reliable set-retarder for Portland cement; High purity options for plaster & wallboard; Naturally moisture-stable. **Quality & standards:** ASTM C22 / EN 13279 compatible; Cement-grade CoA per shipment. --- ### Silica Sand (High-purity SiO₂) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/silica-sand - **Typical purity:** SiO₂ ≥ 99% (glass grade), Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.02% Premium quality quartz sand used in demanding manufacturing processes. **Overview.** Silica sand is a washed, dried, high-purity quartz sand used across glass making, foundry casting, water-filtration media and demanding construction applications. Particle size, shape and chemistry are controlled to match each end use. **Industry application.** Silica sand is one of the most fundamental industrial minerals on earth. Glass plants use it as the principal raw material for container glass, flat (float) glass, specialty optical glass and fibreglass. Foundries use graded silica sand for moulds and cores in iron, steel and non-ferrous casting; water-treatment plants use EN 12904-grade silica as filter media; and the construction sector consumes huge volumes across mortar, ready-mix concrete, dry-mix products and sandblasting. **Use in drilling fluids & oil extraction.** Frac-grade silica sand is one of the highest-volume proppants used in hydraulic fracturing of shale-oil and shale-gas wells. After the frac pumps create fractures in the reservoir rock, silica sand props those fractures open — creating high-conductivity pathways for hydrocarbons to flow into the wellbore. Frac sand is supplied to API 19C / ISO 13503-2 specification with controlled roundness, sphericity and crush resistance; typical mesh sizes are 20/40, 30/50 and 40/70 depending on closure pressure and formation type. **Available grades:** Container & flat glass grade; Foundry moulding sand; Filtration grade (multiple mesh sizes); Frac & proppant grade; Construction / sandblasting. **Physical forms:** Washed dried sand, graded by mesh (coarse / medium / fine). **Packaging:** Bulk vessel; 1 MT jumbo bags; 25/50 kg PP bags. **Industries served:** Glass manufacturing; Foundry & casting; Water filtration plants; Sandblasting; Sports turf & golf. **Key features:** High SiO₂ with controlled Fe content; Tight mesh distribution; Sub-angular to rounded grain options. **Quality & standards:** EN 12904 (water-filtration grade); Glass-grade chemistry per CoA. --- ### Clinker / Grey Cement (Portland Cement Clinker) - **URL:** https://ofoq.trade/products/minerals-chemicals/clinker - **Typical purity:** C₃S 55–65%, free CaO < 1.5%, MgO < 5% High compressive strength raw material for cement production. **Overview.** Portland clinker is the intermediate nodular material produced in cement kilns, ground with gypsum to make Portland cement.
