API Grade Hematite Powder
We are the leading Manufacturer of Natural Iron Oxide Powder in India. Our product have various applications in Oil & Gas as weighting agent (Hematite API) & as Cementing Grade, in manufacturing Fertilizers, in Paint Industries and also in Glass industries.
Hematite Powder is a mineral, colored black to steel or silver-gray, brown to reddish brown, or red. It is mined as the main ore of iron. Hematite, is the mineral form of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), one of several iron oxides.

Application : -
Hematite Powder is mainly used in Oil & Gas drilling.
- Hematite Powder increase the density of water based & Oil based Fluids
- API Grade Hematite Powder is applicable in all types of drilling fluids, including freshwater, seawater and oil-base muds.
- For Cementing Grade Hematite Powder, Please refer this : Cementing Grade Hematite Powder
Advantage : -
- Fluids weighted with API Hematite Powder contain fewer solids by volume then those weighted with Barite, making higher mud fluids possible.
- API Hematite Powder is essentially useful in high density fluids.
- Use of Hematite Powder in muds results in higher rates of penetration.
- Hematite is harder mineral than Barite so it is more resistant to particle size degradation.
- Hematite Powder have higher bulk density than Barite so smaller volume is required at wellsite and for transportation.
Packaging : -
- API Hematite Powder are packaged in 50 Kgs, 25 Kgs bags and 1.0 Mt & 1.5 Mt 240 gsm full loop Jumbo Bags with 100 Micron inner liner.
