Barium Nitrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Barium Dinitrate
- Ba(NO3)2
- Nitrobarite
Barium nitrate supplier for glass, ceramic, electronic and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Written on specification sheets as Ba(NO3)2 and barium dinitrate, and known in mineral form as nitrobarite, it is a white crystalline salt with CAS 10022-31-8.
Grades run from technical material for volume glass and ceramic batching to higher-purity powder for dielectric ceramics and reagent quality for laboratory standards. Form matters as much as purity here, so state whether powder, crystals or free-flowing granules suit the charging method.
Glass and frit producers use it as a soluble barium source, ceramic and electronic ceramic makers select it on strontium and halide limits, and metal-treatment and pyrotechnic manufacturers buy the technical grade. Laboratories take reagent quality for barium standards and gravimetric methods.
Barium nitrate is not interchangeable with barium sulphate or barium carbonate, which are separate products with separate uses. Send the grade, form, purity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry, and packing, documentation and timing will be confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Barium Nitrate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade barium nitrate | white crystalline powder or granules | — | Volume industrial batching for glass, ceramic and general chemical processing, where the buyer states the minimum assay and impurity limits the batch recipe works to. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity barium nitrate | white crystalline powder | — | Electronic ceramic and dielectric compositions, and other work where strontium, chloride and iron limits are held tighter than a general industrial batch grade holds them. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Reagent grade barium nitrate | fine white crystals | — | Analytical and quality-control laboratories preparing barium standards and running precipitation or gravimetric methods that name a reagent-quality salt. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Granular barium nitrate | free-flowing granules | — | Plants dosing through automated feeders or blending equipment, where granules reduce dusting and bridging compared with a fine powder charge. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Barium Nitrate applications
Safety and handling
Keep the material dry in closed containers, stored separately from combustible and reducing materials, and limit dust when weighing or transferring it. Barium salts require controlled handling, so work from the safety data sheet issued with the grade quoted rather than from a catalogue summary. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about barium nitrate
Which barium nitrate grade should a buyer ask for?
Technical grade covers glass, ceramic and general industrial batching. Higher-purity material suits electronic ceramics and dielectric work, and reagent grade suits laboratory standards and gravimetric methods. Send the assay and impurity limits that apply so the right grade is offered.
What is the difference between barium nitrate and barium sulphate?
They are separate products. Barium nitrate is a soluble nitrate salt used as a barium source in glass, ceramic, electronic and speciality manufacture, while barium sulphate is an insoluble filler and pigment extender. Order whichever one the specification names by name.
Is nitrobarite the same material as barium nitrate?
Yes. Nitrobarite is the mineral name for the same compound, barium dinitrate is an older written form, and Ba(NO3)2 is the formula printed on specification sheets. All three refer to the salt described on this page.
Is powder or granular barium nitrate better for a plant feed?
That depends on the handling equipment. Granules run more freely through automated feeders and dust less during transfer, while powder dissolves faster and is common where material is charged by hand into a batch. State the feed method with the enquiry.
Can a minimum assay be specified for barium nitrate?
Yes. Give the minimum assay and any limits for moisture, insoluble matter, strontium, chloride or iron, and the offer will be matched against a grade that carries those figures in its documentation instead of a general description.
What information does a barium nitrate quotation need?
Provide the grade, physical form, target purity and impurity limits, the quantity, the delivery location and the application. Adding preferred pack format, documentation needs and required timing lets one quotation cover the full requirement.
