Plastics
Low iron and low surface area make our Talcs particularly good for polyolefin and other plastic applications. Our series of grades offer the best performance in terms of color and physical properties. We also offer more competitive grades that are slightly lower in color, but give excellent physical properties and are very cost effective. However the compounded color of both grades is superior to Talcs sourced from Montana and Canada.

These products find wide application in TPOs, high impact copolymers, homopolymers and under-the-hood automotive compounds. They are also used in films, foams, polyester, nylon and epoxy resins.

General Application Benefits

Increases heat distortion temperature
Improves long-term heat aging (over other talcs) / High purity (Low Fe2O3)
Shrinkage / Reduces mold shrinkage / Reduces coefficient of thermal expansion
Increases crystallization temperature
Nucleating agent
Bubble nucleating – foamed products
Antiblock for films
