Talcum Powder Fintarque M05N

GENERAL INFORMATION

Talcum Powder Fintarque M05N is a hydrated magnesium silicate with chemical formula of Mg₃Si₄O10(OH)₂.

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.

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.

INCORPORATION

Talcum Powder Fintarque M05N 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.

LEVELS OF USE

Typical use levels for paints and coatings applications are 3 - 15 % depending upon the application and the desired properties. Typical use levels for talc in plastics depending upon the application. Please contact your local sales representative for advice.
