The Main Application of  Talkum (Talc):

Talkum(Talc) Description:  

Did you know that Talc is the softest mineral(talc minerals) found on earth with a Mohs hardness value of 1. Put in perspective diamond has a Mohs hardness value of 10 being one of the hardest.Talc is our main product,which has a very broad range(from 325mesh to 5000mesh)and can be used in ceramic,paper,plastic,paints & coatings,rubber,cosmetic, pharmaceuticals etc.Different application has different specification.

The Application Area and Feature of  Talkum(Talc):

1.Talkum(Talc) Use for Ceramics

Talc is an important ingredient in ceramics such as floor tiles, wall tiles, sanitary ware and vitreous articles,table ware and ceramics for electrical insulation.

(1)In sanitary ware, talc facilitates vitrification hence resulting in lower cracks. Also increases mechanical strength and stain resistance

(2)Talc improves gloss and whiteness while reducing pinholes

(3)Talc is an effecting dusting agent for demoulding

(4)Talc helps to regulate heat and moisture hence improving glaze body

(5)Talc helps to reduce firing temperature and cycles thus reducing fuel costs.

(6)Talc improves opacity in wall tiles hence results in lower usage of expensive zirconium silicate.

2. Talkum(Talc) Use for Palstic

Talc is used in a wide range of plastic applications such as home furniture, auto parts and pipes.
(1)Talc improves dimensional stability and stiffness

(2)Talc permits higher level of impact resistance in auto parts thus enhancing safety

(3)Talc gives high temperature rigidity to home applications

(4)Talc imparts thermal and electrical resistance while being chemically inert

(5)Talc is used as anti-blocking agent in packing bags for food articles.

3. Talkum(Talc) Use for Paper

Talc is used in the paper and pulp industry for following :

(1)Talc is an effective filler improving performance and reduction in TiO2 usage.

(2)As a pitch control agent. Also reduces the chances of pitch deposits in the paper

(3)Talc adds strength to the paper

(4)The softness of talc makes the paper less abrasive and easier to fold.

(5)Talc reduces the friction on the paper making machinery

(6) Talc provides smoothness to the paper surface enhancing reader comfort. .

4. Talkum(Talc) Use for Paints&Coatings

Talc is produced in various micron sizes to suit every requirement. It is made from the finest raw materials having very high percentage of platelets. The benefits of using talc are as follows

(1)As a TiO2 extender hence cutting down on the usage of expensive TiO2

(2)Talc platelets being lamellar have a high specific area giving better coverage and high opacity

(3)It improves the rhelogy of the paint while reduces sagging and settling inside the can

(4)Talc improves anti-corrosive properties in primer paints

(5)Talc enhances the smoothness of the paint and the stain resistance

(6)Helps in controlling gloss whilst strengthens the paint film
