Plastics and rubber engineering

In the production of plastics, talc is used as a reinforcing filler in the production of a wide range of polymeric materials (polypropylene, polyamide, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene foam, foam plastic, polystyrene, fiber optic materials, etc.)

Advantages of using talc in plastics production:

Increases rigidity, compressive and tensile strength due to the lamellar shape of the particles

Increases heat resistance and UV stability

Chemical inertness improves protective properties and ensures excellent interaction with other active ingredients

Improves dielectric properties

Improves the appearance of products

Low abrasiveness reduces equipment wear

In finely dispersed form it contributes to increased impact resistance

Increases creep resistance at elevated temperatures and flexural modulus

Improves fluidity, formability, reduces shrinkage during molding, improves the surface quality of molded parts

It has high corrosion resistance

In the rubber industry, talc is used as follows:

As a reinforcing, inactive, inert filler in the production of ebonite rubbers and rubber technical products for wide consumption

For dusting freshly made rubbers, mixtures and blanks

As a filler in tire production

As a medium for vulcanization of rubber products

Advantages for rubber goods:

Used as a strengthening agent

Increases rigidity, compressive and tensile strength due to the lamellar shape of the particles

Increases heat resistance

Improves electrical insulation properties

Improves dielectric properties

Prevents materials from sticking and clumping
