Soap stone of Khobian Afghanistan

Product Description

• Plastic Industry : Talc is being increasingly used in HDPE, PP, LDPE, PVC, abs & thermosetting compounds. It is excellent filler due to blending characteristics and thermal and electrical resistance. It is chemically inert. It provides the smooth feel to plastic surface. Due to its chemical inertness, superior electrical and thermal resistance and other properties, talc imparts stiffness, hardness, tensile strength of plastic products and improves quality of their surfaces.
• Ceramics : Talc is used mostly as low cost filler in ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, dinnerware, porcelain and electrical insulating.
• Paper industry : Soap stone powder (talc) is used in three stages of paper making -as a filler, to control pitch and stickiest and in paper coating. During the paper making process, the micro impurities can clog the paper machinery. Talc being hydrophobic absorbs these micro droplets thus controlling their stickiness and avoiding clogging. High brightness of talc leads to reduction in usage of expensive whitening agents and helps in controlling gloss of the coat. Talc gives smoothness, yellow index, porosity, and opacity to paper, improves its yellow index and reduces the deterioration of the machinery. Our grades of talc powder are in wide range for paper industries.
• Other allied industries : Dal mills (pulses polishing), textile, printing ink, rubber industry and as a filler raw material in many chemical industries.
