Micronized Products Tioxsil

The MicroTalc® is a magnesium silicate mineral with a monoclinic crystal structure. It is characterized by its softness and platy or lamellar physical structure. When ground into a fine powder, this lamellar property gives a smooth, soapy feel. Our MicroTalc® range offers very high dry brightness (whiteness) and acid resistance, heat stability, electrical resistance (dielectric strength), UV resistance and ease of dispersion in dry powder formulations.

The main uses of MicroTalc® include:

• In the manufacture of personal care products (e.g. soaps). 
• As an inert reinforcing filler in paints, coatings, sealants, mastics and grouts. 
• As an opacifier and pigment extender in paints, plastics and paper. 
• As a pitch (or stickies) absorbent in the production of paper pulp fiber. 
• In coated paper manufacture (providing gloss, finishing and reinforcement). 
• As a pelleting and extrusion aid in food & feed manufacture. 
• As a bulking agent and dispersive diluent in pharmaceuticals. 
• As the base ingredient in talcum powder blends. 
• As a fire-resisting component in ceramic products. 
• As a reinforcing constituent in rubber and waterproofing compounds. 
• As a fluidising agent in fire extinguisher powders. 
• In polishes and rubbing compounds. 
• Promoting strength, heat and acid resistance in thermosetting polymers.
