Import Barium Carbonate Powder — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Canada

Barium carbonate powder from CEC Performance Materials is a dense, white inorganic chemical with the formula BaCO3 and a molecular weight of 197.35 g/mol. The material supplied carries a minimum purity of 99.20%, with moisture held to 0.30% maximum and total sulphur as SO4 at 0.30% maximum. Its bulk density is 0.40 g/cm3 minimum, and the average particle size falls between 1-5 micrometres, with residue on a +325 mesh screen limited to 3.00% maximum. The powder is soluble in acid, insoluble in water, and classified as poisonous, which governs its handling and shipping protocols.

The product's iron content is controlled to 0.004% maximum, and HCL insoluble matter is capped at 0.025% maximum. These tight tolerances matter for buyers in ceramics and magnetic materials, where trace impurities can alter firing behaviour or magnetic properties. In caustic soda manufacturing, the low sulphur specification helps prevent downstream contamination. Standard packaging is 25 kg or 100 kg plastic woven bags, a typical format for industrial carbonate chemicals that balances moisture protection with forklift handling. Buyers should confirm whether CEC Performance Materials offers UN-certified packaging for poison-class shipments, as this is not stated in the listing.

Typical applications for this grade include construction materials (notably brick and tile manufacture where it acts as a flux), ceramic glazes, magnetic material precursors, and the synthesis of other barium salts. The 1-5 micrometre particle size suits applications requiring rapid dissolution or homogeneous distribution in slurries. Chemical reagent buyers will want to verify whether this lot meets ACS or reagent-grade specifications, as the listed analysis appears oriented toward technical rather than laboratory grade. CEC Performance Materials operates from Vancouver, British Columbia, but the listing does not indicate whether this material is stocked domestically or shipped from an alternative origin.

CEC Performance Materials lists a business address at 688 W Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6K 2P5, Canada. The supplier carries a harbor-tier trust designation on the platform, though its response rate shows 0.00% with an average response time of zero hours. This indicates the supplier has not responded to buyer enquiries through the platform's messaging system, a signal that buyers should treat with caution and consider direct outreach via the listed address or alternative channels.

The listing provides no information about the company's years in operation, employee count, manufacturing capabilities, or client base. It does not indicate whether CEC Performance Materials manufactures barium carbonate or trades it, nor does it specify if the product is stocked in Vancouver or drop-shipped from another location. Buyers should verify the supplier's actual operating status, whether they hold relevant chemical handling licences in British Columbia, and their capacity to provide consistent lot-to-lot quality before committing to volume orders.
