What is Talk?

In nature, talc is a water-containing compound with a specific formula. It has a magnesium silicate structure. Thermosetting, when used in resin systems, provides electrical insulation and heat and moisture resistance.

The system with talc filler has the potential to be easily and conveniently processed mechanically.

This material feels slippery on the body when in contact with the hand. It is not affected by acids in any case. It is quite bright. It is chemically inert. It features a high melting point. It has low heat and electrical conductivity. Since it is a mineral with high absorption power, it can be found in near transparent colors such as white, gray, dull green and silver white.

What is talc used for?

Talc is used in ceramics, in the production of paints, in roofing, in the manufacture of insecticides. It is widely used in the rubber and paper industry, in cosmetics and pharmacology, in the production of asphalt fillers, and more recently in the production of animal feed and fertilizers.

This material has a great importance in chemical analysis such as softness, oil absorption, moisture content, melting point according to its intended use.

This material is often preferred in the ceramic industry. Therefore, it can also be used in bathroom and kitchen ceramics and in the plates of electric stoves.

Generally, poor quality talc is preferred for roofing. Therefore, a certain whiteness or purity is not sought at the raw material level. The required properties may include grain size and distribution and oil absorption.

Talc can also be used in the paint industry. Due to its fiber and leaf properties and the advantages of its oil absorbing properties, this material can be used in the production of paints and similar oils. This material, which is preferred in the paint industry, becomes quite white and high in tenor when it is ground. Talc fiber has a structure that allows the paint layers to interlock. Situations such as collapse of heavy paint materials can be prevented. It allows the paint to become more homogeneous.

What is Calcite?

Calcite is considered one of the most basic materials in the plastics industry. Calcite, which is also defined as crystallized calcium carbonate, is a general name given to industrial minerals and can be used in many areas. The size of a calcite can generally range from 1 to 100 mm grain size. It is a highly fragile mineral with a dense and natural structure. For this reason, it may be preferred for commercial use. It is an important substance that has the effect of reducing production costs.

What is Calcite Used For?

Calcite; used in the construction industry. It can also be seen that it is used as a white filling in areas such as ready-mixed plaster and putty, which have only recently developed in our country. This material is also used in cement production.

What is Titanium Dioxide?

Titanium dioxide can be described as a food colorant. Can be used as a colorant. Another name is titanium white. Titanium, which is similar to this material, is a filler material used to create ground and color in gelcoat and polyester applications.

What is Titanium Dioxide Used For?

Titanium dioxide can have important functions. Primarily as a pigment, it is essential for use in paints and coatings, plastics, paper, inks, fibers, pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics. If it is used in the production of such products, it will provide brightness, whiteness and opacity in the product.

This material was previously used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and toothpaste. It also works as a UV reflective component in sunscreen. It allows the sun’s ultraviolet light to be reflected without being absorbed through the skin, which can cause sunscreen and is also linked to skin cancer. In this direction, it can also help protect the skin of the individual.

Titanium dioxide is the most widely preferred white pigment worldwide. Only diamonds show more breakage than this material. The refraction indicator can be defined as a measurement of the ability of light to bend. Accordingly, opacity and covering ability will also be ensured.

This material dioxide is used as a food colorant and is also used today in the production of paints and sun lotions. The reason for its widespread use is that it effectively diffuses visible light.

Commonly used titanium dioxide; effectively scatters visible light. It provides advantages by giving whiteness, gloss and opacity properties to paints and coatings.
