Due to its unique properties, talc acts as an ideal
filler/extender for many industries.
In today’s age, industries place exacting techno-commercial demands on
the materials... and talc acts as an important supplement to critical
materials like:
Animal Feed
India
Talc is one of the safest ingredients used in Animal feed. The benefits are
as follows
- Being chemically inert it is safe for consumption by animals
- India Talc is hydrophobic in nature which helps protects the
nutrients in the feed as it prevents loss and absorption of water
- India Talc is used as an anti-caking agent in animal feed
- India Talc is an effective lubricant for dies as it will not degrade
pallet integrity
- India Talc is an ideal carrier as it helps the different ingredients
to blend easily and facilitates the dispersion of sticky ingredients
Paints & Coatings
India
Talc is produced in various micron sizes to suit every requirement. It is
made from the finest raw materials having very high percentage of platelets.
The benefits of using India talc are as follows
- As a TiO2 extender hence cutting down on the usage of expensive TiO2
- India Talc platelets being lamellar have a high specific area giving
better coverage and high opacity
- It improves the rhelogy of the paint while reduces sagging and
settling inside the can
- India Talc improves anti-corrosive properties in primer paints
- India Talc enhances the smoothness of the paint and the stain
resistance
- Helps in controlling gloss whilst strengthens the paint film
Detergents
India
Talc is widely used as a filler in detergents such as laundry bar soap and
detergent powders. The benefits achieved by using India Talc are :
- India Talc imparts smoothness to the soap.
- India Talc being chemically inert hence it is harmless to human skin
- India Talc is an efficient carrier of the chemicals present at a very
low cost
- India Talc helps in increasing the lather and makes it more creamier
hence making the soap pleasurable to use
- India Talc improves the binding in the laundry soap hence makes the
soap last longer.
Fertiliser
India
Talc helps the fertilizer plants to function more efficiently. The benefits
are as follows
- India Talc is an ideal carrier for fertilizers.
- India Talc serves as an anti-caking agent. As India Talc is
hydrophobic hence it reduces moisture absorption and enables longer
storage periods.
- India Talc helps in extending expensive chemicals and improves active
ingredients dispersion.
- India Talc is suitable for all type of molecules and can be used in
seed treatments, garden dusts, biocides and pesticides.
Food
India
Talc is widely used in a number of food products and as processing aids in
the extraction of edible oils such as olive oil, sunflower oil etc.
The benefits are as follows:-
- India Talc being chemically inert causes no harm if consumed by
humans. It is available in sterilized form which eliminates most
microbes and bacteria.
- India Talc is used as an anti sticking agent in bubbles gum, Chewing
gum, candies and cured meats. It is also used as a filler in bubble and
chewing gums.
- India Talc being chemically inert makes ideal gum base regulators for
acid fruit flavors.
- In edible oil processing it acts as a natural processing aid,
increasing the yield and improving plant efficiency.
- India Talc does not affect the chemical and organoleptical
characteristics of edible oils.
