Minerios Ouro Branco Magnesium Silicate

Minerios Ouro Branco Magnesium Silicate is known as talc, a mineral of inorganic constitution, chemically inert, extracted from deposits and processed in different granulometric ranges according to the desired application. It is presented in lamellar crystalline form, giving the mineral softness to the touch. Magnesium Silicate is White powder until slightly creamy or grayish, fine, odorless, insoluble in water.

Features & Benefits

Applications & Uses

Recommended Applications
  • Paint applications : Load widely used in all paint systems, its lamellar characteristic gives a more uniform surface finish, good coverage and low coefficient of friction improving the resistance to washability (or abrasion test), it gives flexibility in addition to acting as a hydrophobic agent, its morphology gives the talc a greater resistance to sedimentation, ensuring better stability to the system, etc.
  • Plastics application : Widely used in thermoplastic resins as a reinforcing filler, improving mechanical properties, increasing strength and hardness, in the manufacture of masterbatches it acts as a dispersant for pigments with high tinting power, especially organic ones, facilitating the pigmentation of virgin resins.
  • Food Applications : Aluminum Silicate is used as a technological aid in the manufacture of food, do not enter as an additive in the formulation, but as an external auxiliary agent to improve the gloss and protection, since it works as a hydrophobe repels water, increasing the life span of the product. product, it also acts as a lubricant, or even as a nonstick, preventing the product from sticking when it is removed from the mold.
  • General applications : It is used in the manufacture of toilet and medical powders, vehicles for active liquids (insecticides and others), refractory molds, friction materials, as a lubricant for curving glass, plastics, rubbers (as a filler and lubricant / non-stick), fiberglass, glues , adhesives, in the manufacture of soaps, electrical insulators, etc.
