PAINT INDUSTRY
Talc is widely used in the paint and coatings industry as a functional extender pigment. Its lamellar structure enhances the paint’s smoothness and coverage while providing excellent anti-settling and suspension properties. Talc improves the rheology of paint, making it easier to apply and enhancing the finish’s softness and gloss control. It also improves paint adhesion and increases resistance to cracking and peeling.
In both water-based and solvent-based systems, talc contributes to a long-lasting, even finish. Its barrier properties help improve corrosion resistance in protective coatings. Talc's chemical inertness and hydrophobic nature make it ideal for outdoor paints, industrial coatings, and decorative finishes, ensuring performance under challenging environmental conditions.
