What is the function of Barium as an additive?

When you use the oil as an enema, it allows the doctors to see your lower GI tract.

Actually, I have no idea. But I couldn't resist the barium enema comment.
 
Barium is ususally in the form of a Barium Sulfonate.

It is a multi-functional additive used as:

1. Soot detergent (in some diesel oils)
2. Metal Protector and anti-rust


Barium is also used in liquid and spray-on metal protectors.
 
Mola, Can it be used to suspend contaminates as well. I was thinking that it is added to ATF to suspend clutch particles??? Am I way off base?
