Talc (mineral filler)

Talc is the most common mineral filler; its platy structure raises the stiffness, heat-deflection temperature and dimensional stability of polypropylene and polyethylene. Fine grades preserve surface quality and improve scratch resistance. It is used at 10–40% in PP compounds for automotive interior and exterior trim and appliance parts.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • PP automotive compounds
  • Appliances and garden furniture
  • Packaging closures and containers
  • Pipe and profile extrusion

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for Talk are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
