Talc for Plastics

Talc is a surprisingly versatile, functional mineral which possesses a unique combination of properties: soft, water repellent, chemically inert and highly platy and has a marked affinity for certain organic chemicals. Our industry experts have harnessed these properties to bring customers improved performance in a wide range of applications such as paper, paints, plastics, rubber, ceramics, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and soap.
