Extenders for Paints, Coatings, Plastics & Rubber applications
Talc is an occurring substance consisting of hydrated magnesium silicate extensively used as a performance-enhancing material in diverse industries, including paints & coatings, plastic, rubber, paper, and ceramic manufacturing. Talc has a unique plate-like morphology, which increases mechanical strength, improves smoothness, and provides effective barrier properties.
In addition, it is thermally stable, chemically resistant, and has a lubricating effect, making it well-suited for applications where stability, barrier characteristics, and improved processability are important.
Kaolin, or china clay, is a natural mineral consisting of hydrated aluminum silicate. It is widely used as a functional filler and coating pigment across various industries, including paints and coatings, paper, ceramics, rubber, and plastics. Kaolin’s small particle size, brightness, and dispersion characteristics provide better opacity and surface finish, as well as improved performance properties.
Kaolin helps regulate rheology, provides chemical stability, and enhances durability, making it an affordable yet effective ingredient in many industrial formulations.
Barytes, scientifically known as barium sulfate, is a high-density, inert mineral that serves as an efficient filler or weight enhancer for paints and coatings, plastics, rubber, oil and gas, and construction sectors. Barytes is popular for its high density, outstanding chemical resistance, and low oil absorption.
These characteristics make the material durable, help in controlling gloss, and promote dimensional stability in the final product. In addition, barytes increases radiation shielding ability and offers high opacity and smoothness.
