- Product Highlights
Talc in paper production
- During the paper production talc leads to huge benefits during the process and for the products.
- Talc can be used in paper recycling as well as in new production of paper, pulp and cardboard as filler.
- The characteristic properties of talc prevent pitch agglomeration within the production machine.
- The use of talc improves the properties of the finished products, in-creases the quality and reduces the production costs.
- Effects and benefits
- Lowers the abrasion of paper ma-chine fabrics and mechanical ele-ments
- Effective pitch control
- Improving runability
- Enhances the printability of the fin-ished paper
- Improves plant productivity and pa-per quality (fewer spots, defects, holes)
- Increased compressibility and max-imized color transfer
- Opacity improvement
- Cost saving
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Applicable Processes
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Application Examples
- Plastics: Filler medium for polypropylene/polyamide/polyethylene; increases rigidity and whiteness levels, acts as nucleating agent, insulating, flame-retarding, water-repellent
- Paints and coatings: Architectural, coating and corrosion protection, gindable systems, adhesives; improved visocosity and covering power, prevents sedimentation, fixes pigments
- Paper: Filler material, pitch control, surface coating; imporves whiteness, opacity and printability
- Ceramics, rubber, asphalt: Filler material; increases rigidity and temperature resistance, reduces processing temperature
- Pharmacy and cosmetics: powder, additve for pills; servers as a carrier for both dry and moistrue materials
- Food and animal feed Release agent and carrier substance for colors and nutrients (food additive E553b), flow regulating agent
- Other uses: Process additive, lubricant and anti-adhesive, clearing effect in waste water
