FINNTALC M03

Functional Extender

FINNTALC M03 is a hydrated magnesium silicate. Finntalc grades are purified in a cascade of multiple flotation cells. This process results in a tight definition of the talc composition, making this natural product similar to a synthetic chemical. In combination with a precisely controlled particle size distribution, this ensures exact reproducibility in formulations.

FINNTALC M03 can be used as a functional extender to achieve following results:

Paints & Coatings: Good barrier properties, efficient pigment spacer, matting of low PVC paints, adjustment of rheological properties.

Plastics: Very fine talc, excellent to use as antiblock agent and as a nucleator. Nice grade to use in controlling the cell density in foams. Compacted grades are available for low dust generation and easy handling resulting in higher compounding throughput.

APPLICATIONS:

• Paints & Coatings: thin layer coatings (dry film thickness < 15 µm), tinting pastes and printing inks.
• Plastics: Recommended for antiblock, automotive bumpers, foaming and nucleation.

KEY PROPERTIES:

• Pure, lamellar talc with very fine particle size and stable colour, very hydrophobic, inert and soft.
