Industrial grade talc is widely used in many industrial fields, such as plastic industry, rubber industry, cable industry, ceramic industry, composite materials, textile industry, coating industry, construction field, and waterproof materials. The following will introduce the industrial application of talc:
Tile industry
Talc has multiple functions in the tile industry. It can enhance the wear resistance of tiles, improve gloss and texture, and adjust color and texture to meet different design requirements. The rough surface structure of talc helps to improve the anti-slip performance of tiles, especially suitable for humid environments. In addition, talc can also improve the fluidity and formability of tiles and improve production efficiency.
Papermaking industry
As a paper reinforcing agent, talc can be closely combined with fibers to improve the strength and durability of paper and make printed paper stronger. Its extremely fine particles help fill the tiny pores of paper, improve the surface flatness, and make the printing effect clearer and more delicate. As an inorganic filler, talcum powder can reduce the use of organic fillers, which not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also improves the environmental friendliness of the printing process.
Construction field
In the construction field, in addition to selecting high-quality pigments and solvents, additives are also indispensable key ingredients for making high-quality paints! Talc is an excellent thickener that makes paint easier to apply and improves smoothness and uniformity. At the same time, it can also increase the gloss of the paint, improve color stability, and make the coating more beautiful and durable.
Rubber industry
Talc can improve the compression molding, calendering, extrusion and injection processing performance of rubber and plastic resins, and replace 10-15% of high-priced rubber materials, thereby reducing raw material costs. When used with IIR isoprene rubber, talcum powder can further improve plasticity and help manufacture rubber products with complex shapes.
Composite materials
Talc plays an important role in composite materials due to its flaky structure, high purity and low density. When talcum powder is combined with polymer substrates such as PP, PC, PA, etc., it can effectively improve the mechanical properties of composite materials, such as rigidity, strength, heat resistance, etc. These composite materials are widely used in consumer goods, auto parts, 3C products and other fields.
Coating industry (anti-corrosion, waterproof, wood, industrial coatings, etc.)
Talc powder has multiple advantages in the application of coatings for industrial and waterproof materials. It can reduce construction costs, make coatings easier to apply, save time and labor, and reduce material waste. At the same time, talcum powder can enhance the weather resistance of coatings, improve resistance to ultraviolet rays, moisture and chemical erosion, and extend the service life of coatings.
