Talc Powder

Talcum Powder is a metamorphic hydrated magnesium silicate with soapy feel and pearly luster. It has lamellar structure and platyness which provides excellent opacity to the end products.

It exhibits higher stiffness on elevated temperatures and creep resistance. This makes them advantageous for both polymers and paints.

Advantages for polymers:

• Good surface quality
• Lower mould shrinkage
• Easier processing
• Good opacity

Advantages for paints:

• Excellent scrub resistance
• Reduced sagging
• Good coverage
• Higher loading
• Water resistance

This talc powder has a number of applications that are as follows:

• PS compounds to prepare more stiff MIPS
• Paints and Rubber
• PP compounds used in automotive and appliances
• Additive master batches for paper like LLDPE & HM, HDPE films
• Additive master batches for PP & HDPE box strapping
