Micronization

Grinding a material into a fine powder measured in microns.

Micronization reduces mineral particles to sizes typically measured in single or low double-digit microns. For barite used in paints and coatings, it controls properties such as smoothness, gloss and how well the filler disperses.

At KHN Minerals, beneficiated barite is micronized at our plant in Akyazı, Sakarya, into a range of particle sizes.
