It has been seen that the Paints and coatings need to meet the high-performance standards in terms of corrosion resistance. For this, talc could be an essential element that acts as a filler in paints and coatings to improve their structure. Talc powder has proved to be an ideal mineral for pigments, fillers and extenders in industrial paints, where they are beneficial in improving mechanical properties, optical properties and production processes. The utilization of Talc powder leads to extreme advantages in paints and coatings. It is mainly used in the paints and coating industry, printing inks, wood lacquers, fillers and other types of coatings.

• As Talc is a hydrophobic and non-transparent material, therefore, it helps in improving the water repulsion and weather resistance of the paints and coating and also provides the benefit of UV protection.
• Talc powder also brings benefits to colour concentrates, enamels, varnishes, body fillers, putties and so on. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most exemplary properties of the Talc Powder suitable for the Paints & Coating Industry.
• As Talc powder is soft and chemically inert in nature, therefore it contributes minimal abrasion to the vessels and the applicator.
• Talc powder in this industry helps in creating a barrier effect that limits the penetration of the corrosive agents into the paints and coating industry. These essential properties of the talc powder lead to a reduction in the formation of bubbles, corrosion and peeling in the paint industry.
• Further, Talc powder also increases the pseudo-plasticity of the paints that mainly refers to the reduction of the viscosity when shear forces are applied to it. Thus, is less strenuous to apply to get the desired thickness of the paint film.

Moreover, the texture of the talc helps in minimizing the shrinkage of the binder system during the curing of the paint film and thus helps in promoting the adhesion of the paint film to the surface. The main criteria for selecting the talc for the paint industry is the colour, particle size, oil absorption and acid solubility. We at Vasundhara Micron are reneged in offering high-grade talc powder that is known for its high whiteness, low oil absorption, fine particle size and other features that impart the right quality to the paint.
