Global barium sulfate market: Growing demand for polypropylene and polystyrene in packaging applications
During the manufacturing of polypropylene and polystyrene, barium sulfate is used as plastic filler. Polypropylene and polystyrene are two of the most common polymers that are used to manufacture plastic packaging materials and other materials such as beakers, bottles, flasks, specimen containers, and test tubes. Polypropylene is characterized by a high melting point, strength, and good chemical resistance that make it fit for hot-fill liquids.
“Polystyrene is a versatile plastic, which can be rigid or foamed. It has a lower melting point than polypropylene. Hence, it is mixed with rubber for packaging and durable applications that require toughness. It is primarily used in protective packaging, foodservice packaging, bottles, and food containers. The consumption of barium sulfate will increase with the increasing demand for polypropylene and polystyrene in packaging applications,” says a senior research analyst at Technavio.
