Plant And Agriculture:

Our talc when used as Carriers form a critical application in fertilisers and plant protection. Adding talc to active ingredients results in a well-managed release.

Machinery And Industrial:

Our anti-cacking properties, talc properties, improves the fluidity of the material, helping in keeping equipment clean (minimizing bacteria proliferation), lowers energy consumption, reduces production stoppages, and makes the operator’s job safer.

Paint:

Our Talc, when used as a thickener influences the viscosity of water- and solvent- based formulations. Talc increases covering power, improves flow and prevents settling, improving the adhesion and final mechanical properties of the coating. Talc enables paints, with the necessary low viscosities, to be formulated with significantly less organic solvents controlling sedimentation rates during storage.

Our talc is also the principal ingredient in putties, improving adhesion and standability.

In paints and coatings, our talc forms an ideal, natural solution for replacing less environment-friendly TiO2 and for improving the mechanical and optical properties of coatings.

Pharmaceuticals:

Talc is used as a lubricant in pharmaceuticals . Talc also facilitates the ingestion of solid drugs. Talc also helps mould and demould pills.

The chemical inertness of talc is of obvious interest for carrier applications. talc also has the advantage of not generating bacterial growth and of releasing fragrances progressively.

Food:

Certain foodstuffs or conveyor belts are also powdered with talc, to excellent effect, Owing to its anti-sticking agent. It finds a wide application in chewing gums and chocolates. Also used as strengthening agent in food packing.

Detergents:

Talc because of its inert, soft and oleophilic nature, it is used as a filler in detergents and soaps.

Animal Nutrition:

Talc is extensively used in animal feed. It wraps each feed particle, setting up a natural barrier that stops moisture escaping from or entering the treated feed.

Rubber: 

Talc powdering of moulds is widely used for example in tyre manufacturing Talc is also used as a semi-reinforcing filler in rubber.

Foundry:

Talc powdering of moulds is widely used for example foundry applications because if its slippery nature. It reduces firing time and temperature.

Paper:

Talc’s adsorption properties, are key in a number of applications, particularly pitch control in paper making where talc is used to absorb organic impurities  which are sticky.

Talc also greatly improves printing runnability.

As a filler in paper, it increases smoothness and machinability, reduces friction, abrasion and porosity.

In paper coating, it helps to improve ink transfer, finish feel and legibility of printing

In the pulp and paper industry, our talcs are excellent solutions for avoiding deposits enabling mills to work in closed water circuits and to optimize prime resources

Ceramics:

Talc’s properties bring benefits to ceramics (household, construction, refractory and technical).

It reduces firing time and temperature, improves vitrification and consequently the resistance of the ceramic. Talc also improves thermal shock resistance, particularly important in catalytic exhausts.

Used in ceramic tiles and sanitary ware, our talc improves the vitrification process, allowing producers to reduce firing temperatures and shorten firing cycles.
