LITHOS Industrial Minerals Talc LP10P

• Highly lamellar, the softest mineral (Mohs hardness 1)
• Very high whiteness => suitable for applications in plastic, paper or coating industry
• Top cut to 10 microns
• Hydrophobic (water-repellent), not soluble in water
• Chemically inert, acid and alkali resistant
• Organophile (binds easily with organic materials)
• Electrically and thermally insulating

Talc in paper production

• During the paper production talc leads to huge benefits during the process and for the products.
• Talc can be used in paper recycling as well as in new production of paper, pulp and cardboard as filler.
• The characteristic properties of talc prevent pitch agglomeration within the production machine.
• The use of talc improves the properties of the finished products, in-creases the quality and reduces the production costs.

• Lowers the abrasion of paper ma-chine fabrics and mechanical ele-ments
• Effective pitch control
• Improving runability
• Enhances the printability of the fin-ished paper
• Improves plant productivity and pa-per quality (fewer spots, defects, holes)
• Increased compressibility and max-imized color transfer
• Opacity improvement
• Cost saving

• Plastics: Filler medium for polypropylene/polyamide/polyethylene; increases rigidity and whiteness levels, acts as nucleating agent, insulating, flame-retarding, water-repellent
• Paints and coatings: Architectural, coating and corrosion protection, gindable systems, adhesives; improved visocosity and covering power, prevents sedimentation, fixes pigments
• Paper: Filler material, pitch control, surface coating; imporves whiteness, opacity and printability
• Ceramics, rubber, asphalt: Filler material; increases rigidity and temperature resistance, reduces processing temperature
• Pharmacy and cosmetics: powder, additve for pills; servers as a carrier for both dry and moistrue materials
• Food and animal feed Release agent and carrier substance for colors and nutrients (food additive E553b), flow regulating agent
• Other uses: Process additive, lubricant and anti-adhesive, clearing effect in waste water
