What Shaanxi Fuhua Chemical Co. does

Shaanxi Fuhua Chemical Co., Ltd. is a privately-held Chinese chemical manufacturer headquartered in Fuping County, Weinan, Shaanxi Province, with origins dating to 1942 and a joint-stock restructuring completed in 2002. The company specializes in the production of precipitated/synthetic barium sulfate (Blanc Fixe) and sodium sulphide, with an annual production capacity of 80,000 tons of barium sulfate, 50,000 tons of sodium sulphide, and 45,000 tons of nano precipitated barium sulfate and functional masterbatch, ranking its comprehensive capacity among the foremost in the Chinese industry. Its product portfolio spans refined, superfine, modified, nano, and silica-alumina modified barium sulfate grades, plus low-ferric, industrial, and crystal sodium sulphide variants — each engineered through proprietary surface treatment technology targeting applications in powder coatings, plastics, rubber, paper, lead-acid batteries, friction materials (including automotive, rail, and aerospace braking systems), leather, dyeing, mineral processing, and pharmaceuticals.

Fuhua operates a B2B direct-sales model targeting industrial manufacturers with minimum order quantities of 1,000–10,000 kg, standard 7–10 working day delivery, and T/T or L/C at sight payment terms. International sales are routed through a 100%-owned export subsidiary, Shaanxi Fuhua Trading Co., Ltd. (established March 2017, registered capital RMB 5 million), with products holding REACH, SGS, and ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications for global compliance. Fuhua reports total assets of RMB 700 million, over 400 employees, and a leadership team anchored by President Wang Pu and General Manager Su Hualei.

The company is positioned as a national standard-setting entity for precipitated barium sulfate in China, holds the "Shaanxi Famous-brand Product" designation, and was recognized as a "Single Champion Enterprise in Manufacturing Industry" by Shaanxi Province in 2025. It maintains active R&D partnerships with Xi'an Polytechnic University and Jiaotong University for applied chemical research and talent cultivation, and was granted a battery-grade barium sulfate invention patent on March 10, 2026.
