Main Application

Cosmetics:

Talc has been valued for centuries as a body powder. Today it also plays an important role in many cosmetic products, providing the silkiness in blushes, powder compacts and eye shadows, the transparency of foundations and the sheen of beauty creams. In pharmaceuticals, talc is an ideal excipient, used as a glidant, lubricant and diluent. Soap manufacturers also use talc to enhance skin care performance.

Talc Helps:

Fragrance carrier
Inert carrier
Lower formulation cost
Oil-base replacement
Optical properties
Pigment extender
Softness

Recommended Application::

Body Perfumery talc Powder
Cream
Compact Powder
Foundation
Eye Shadow
Baby Talc

Pharmaceuticals:

NLP Group produce one of the purest, finest talc for the pharmaceutical and medical industry. It is sterilized by gamma radiation, is free of fibres and has a defined particle size. Our Micro talc 1HN series are very pure lamellar talc with very high brightness, ideally suited for pharmaceutical and medical uses.

Talc Helps:

• As an active and auxiliary agent
• As a carrier for pharmaceuticals with a disinfectant, anti-itching or cooling effect.
• An excipient and helps in neutralize chemical reactions between compounds.

Recommended application:

• Tablet Coating
• Medicated Powders
• Pressed Tablets
• Dental Products

Polymer:

Talc impart a variety of benefits to polypropylene, for instance higher stiffness and improved dimensional stability in automotive parts (under-the hood/bonnet, dashboard, bumper interiors and exterior trim), household appliances and white goods. Advanced milling technology is required to obtain the finest talc without diminishing the reinforcing power of their lamellar structure. Talc is also used for linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) anti-blocking and as a nucleating agent in semi-crystalline polymers. In polypropylene food packaging applications, talc is a highly effective reinforcing filler.

Talc Helps:

Antiblocking
Barrier effect
Dimensional stability
Electrical insulation – Fire resistance
Glass fiber replacement
Light weighting
Mechanical properties
Nucleation
Scratch & mark resistance

Recommended Application::

Automotive Compounds
Non Woven
Colour Masterbatch
Anti fabulation Masterbath
Food packaging & film
PVC Cable, film and pipe applications
Wood plastic composites

Rubber:

Talc reduce the viscosity of rubber compounds, thereby facilitating the processing of moulded parts. They also improve extrudate qualities, increasing production rates and enhancing UV radiation resistance of exterior parts such as automotive profiles. In sealants and gaskets, they provide good compression resistance, whilst in pharmaceutical stoppers, they create a barrier against liquids. In cables, talcs function as insulators and in tyre manufacture they make excellent processing aids.

Talc Helps:

Mechanical properties
Partitioning agent
Permeability barrier
Processing aid
Synergism with carbon black

Recommended Application::

Rubber threads
Rubber Sheets, Hoses , Seals
Fire resistant wire & cable
Industrial mechanical goods
Pharmaceutical closures
Tires

Paper:

Talc is used in both uncoated and coated rotogravure papers where they enhance printability and reduce surface friction, improving productivity at the paper mill and print house. They also improve mattness and reduce ink scuff in offset papers. Used as pitch control agents, talc “clean” the paper making process by adsorbing any sticky resinous particles in the pulp onto their platy surfaces, thereby preventing the agglomeration and deposit of these stickies on felts and calenders. As opposed to chemical pitch-control products that pollute the process water, talc is removed together with the pulp, enabling the paper maker to operate more easily in closed-circuit. In specialiy papers, such as coloured papers or labels, talc helps to improve quality and productivity.

Talc Helps:

Barrier Property
Co effecient of friction
Cost Rdeuction
Environment
Printability

Recommended Application::

Barrier Coatings
Tissue Paper
Virgin Pulp – Fresh Fiber

Paints & Coatings:

Talc confer a whole range of benefits to paints & coatings. In interior and exterior decorative paints, it act as an extender to improve hiding power and titanium dioxide efficiency. Talc’s lamellar platelets make paint easier to apply and improve cracking resistance and sagging. They also enhance matting. In anti-corrosion primers, talc is used to improve corrosion resistance and paint adhesion. They also bring benefits to inks, jointing compounds, putties and adhesives. Our Talc enhances the performance of inks and makes for an ideal filler and extender in water-borne and solvent-borne inks.

Talc Helps:

Corrosion resistance & barrier properties
Hiding & TiO2 extender
Flatting – Matting
Mud cracking
Rheology
VOC reduction
Weather scrub color UV resistance

Recommended Application::

Architectural & Decorative paints
Industrial paints
Wood coatings
Color concentrates
Metal paints
Organic paints
Gel coats.
Floor mortars
Polyester Putty

Ceramics:

Talc is a phyllosilicate which imparts a wide range of functions to floor and wall tiles, sanitary-ware, tableware, refractories and technical ceramics. In traditional building ceramics (tiles and sanitary-ware), it is used essentially as a flux, enabling firing temperatures and cycles to be reduced. In refractory applications, chlorite-rich talcs are transformed into cordierite to improve thermal shock resistance. For steatite ceramics, microcrystalline talcs are the most appropriate. During firing, talc is transformed into enstatite, which possesses electroinsulating properties, while very low-iron-content talcs are particularly suitable for use in frit, engobe and glaze compositions.

Talc Helps:

Fluxing agent
Frit, glaze & engobe properties
Glaze-body fit
Mechanical properties
Thermal shock resistance

Recommended Application::

Automotive cordierite ceramics
Cordierite – mullite refractories
Electroceramics
Frits, glazes & engobes
Glazed floor tiles
Large format & thin tiles
Porcellanato stoneware tiles
Sanitaryware
Tableware
White body earthenware tiles

Agriculture and Food:

Talc is an effective anti-caking agent, dispersing agent and die lubricant and therefore contributes to more efficient functioning of animal feed and fertilizer plants. In premixes and agricultural chemicals, talc makes an ideal inert carrier. Talc is also used as an anti-stick coating agent in a number of popular food products and processes including chewing gum,boiled sweets,cured meats,and for rice polishing. In olive oil production, it increases yield and improves the clarity of the oil. Talc acts as fillers and anticaking agents to improve flow and dispersion of animal feeds. Talc’s properties like dust reduction, die lubricant, dispersing agent, flow agent and chemically inert makes it ideal additives and fillers for animal feed.
