Ifu ya Baryte, igizwe ahanini na barium sulfate, irangwa no kuba ifite ubucucike bwinshi. Ikoreshwa cyane mu gucukura peteroli nk'ikintu gipima ibyondo kugira ngo yongere imikorere myiza yo gucukura; mu nganda zikora imiti, ikora nk'ibikoresho by'ingenzi mu gukora ibintu bitandukanye bya barium; kandi, ikoreshwa mu bikoresho by'ubwubatsi, amarangi, wino, n'amavuta yo kwisiga kugira ngo yongere ireme ry'ibicuruzwa n'imikorere myiza. Mu rwego rw'ubuvuzi, ikora nk'ikintu gikingira imirasire ya X. Mu bijyanye no kurengera ibidukikije, ikoreshwa no mu gutunganya amazi yanduye.

Umusaruro wayo ukubiyemo gusya, kumisha no gusya, hamwe n'uburyo bunoze bw'umusaruro wa nyuma bushobora guhindurwa hakurikijwe ibisabwa byihariye. Kubera iterambere ry'inganda za peteroli, imiti n'izindi, ifu ya baryte ikomeje kwiyongera ku isoko. Byongeye kandi, ubumenyi bwinshi ku kurengera ibidukikije bwarushijeho kwagura ikoreshwa ryayo mu nzego zitangiza ibidukikije.

Muri make, ifu ya baryte, nk'ibikoresho fatizo bikoreshwa mu nganda, ifite uburyo bwinshi bwo kuyikoresha kandi ifite ubushobozi bwinshi ku isoko.
