Nicron® 302 is a high-purity, 3-Hegman microcrystalline talc product with low oil adsorption and minimal viscosity build. Nicron® 302 is part of the Engineered Series of Magris Talc products that have unique particle size distributions for improved paint performance properties. Nicron® 302 is an excellent choice for protective coating applications due to its hydrophobic nature, very low mineral solubility, and proven anti-corrosion performance. Nicron® 302 disperses easily in high-solids and solventborne coatings and gives very good paint stability, rheology, and anti-settling properties.

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Nicron® 302 has demonstrated excellent weathering properties in both solvent-borne and waterborne paints. Nicron® 302 is recommended for architectural flat exterior latex paints for low sheen, good touch-up, and good fade- and chalk-resistance. Additional technical and performance information are available upon request.
  • Nicron® 302 could also be used in plastics as a cost-effective reinforcing agent to improve stiffness, HDT and dimensional stability. In rubber, it acts as a dusting/parting agent.
