Product Code : SCL-LC-12193
Barium Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12193), also written barium sulfate (BaSO4), is a white inorganic salt that barely dissolves in water. Chemistry teachers and lab technicians use it to show how insoluble sulphates behave, as a reference sample for sulphate precipitation work and in supervised college and analytical practicals. It is supplied from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The reagent is a white or yellowish, odourless powder with the formula BaSO4 and a molecular weight of about 233.39 g/mol. Grade, particle size and net weight vary between packs, so each is printed on the label with the batch number and confirmed on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Barium Sulphate
In teaching labs the powder illustrates insoluble salts: students compare it with soluble sulphates, watch it settle from suspension and relate it to the white precipitate formed in sulphate tests. Colleges and analytical labs also keep it for reference work where an approved method names barium sulphate.
- Class 10 chemistry: double-displacement and precipitation reactions that produce barium sulphate.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: recognising the white sulphate precipitate.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals on solubility, settling and suspension behaviour.
- Training in weighing, dust control and reagent labelling.
Standard Scope of Supply
You receive the barium sulphate container in the quoted pack size, a label giving batch, grade and hazard details, the Safety Data Sheet, and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export papers. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a single pack or a term’s worth of stock for several laboratories; the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity. Barium chloride or other salts for sulphate practicals can be quoted together, which keeps an order for school chemistry lab equipment in India on one document.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Send your list through the contact page or the enquiry cart; tender buyers will find details on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this barium sulphate be used for medical imaging?
No. It is listed as a laboratory reagent only. Do not use it for medical, food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic purposes unless the grade and regulatory status have been verified for that use.
Is barium sulphate hazardous?
Handle it as a laboratory chemical: avoid breathing the dust, prevent eye contact and ingestion, and wear gloves, eye protection and a lab coat. Dispose of residues under your rules for barium-containing waste.
Who supplies the Barium Sulphate?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, handles supply from Ambala, quoting this salt alongside the rest of its lab-chemical range for schools, colleges and distributors.
Can schools use barium sulphate?
Yes, in school and college laboratories under trained supervision, following the current Safety Data Sheet and the institution’s chemical-safety procedure.
Related Barium and Sulphate Reagents
Sulphate-test and barium-chemistry practicals rarely need one salt alone. These four reagents from the same range cover the precipitating agent, other barium compounds and a soluble sulphate, so a teacher can plan precipitation and solubility work from a single quotation.
- Barium Chloride — barium salt used for sulphate-ion testing and precipitation reactions.
- Barium Nitrate — Ba(NO3)2, a hazardous nitrate for controlled qualitative work.
- Barium Hydroxide — alkaline barium reagent for strong-base and titration work.
- Sodium Sulphate — Na2SO4, a soluble sulphate salt for solution preparation.
