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.

- > Crys-Talc® is a new, high brightness, micro-laminar talc which improves nucleation & crystallization of polymers. Adding Crys-Talc®, primarily at levels of 0.5% up to 5%, improves nucleation and increases the crystallization temperature.
- > MISTROCELL® is a new nucleating agent for foamed polymers. Adding MISTROCELL® at levels of 1% up to 5% provides dramatic weight reduction for foamed polymers.
