Talc
PAPER
Our Talc is highly lamellar and soft having 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. This natural property provides a series of benefits in papermaking and recommended to use as filler and pitch control.
Key Attributes of our Talc:
- High Purity
- Excellent whiteness and brightness. Product whiteness would be available in the range of 85% - 98%.
- Lamellar structure.
- Low abrasion index
- As filler it gives excellent smoothness, porosity and opacity to paper in addition to reducing the cost. As compared to GCC it is less abrasive so it increases the wire and felt life.
- To control Pitch and Stikies during the paper making process, oleo resinous droplets micro or colloidal in nature get added to the stream. These micro impurities can clog the paper machinery. Talc being hydrophobic absorbs these micro droplets or if the droplets are big then talc lamellae stick to their surface thus controlling their stickiness
