Artic Mist
reinforcing talc fillerArtic Mist is an off-white, high purity, extremely platy, very fine talc serving polymer, rubber, and coatings applications. Artic Mist is recommended for excellent stiffness, HDT, and dimensional stability as well as improved impact strength and aesthetics in high performance plastics, plastic nucleation, foamed plastics, plastic films, and wire and cable applications. Artic Mist is used in plastics applications mainly for nucleation of semi-crystalline plastics, for foamed plastics or other applications where a high-performance powder talc is desired, while its compacted versions JetFil 625C is commonly used for reinforcement in polyolefins, including in automotives and appliances. Artic Mist is used in rubber applications as a reinforcing agent and processing aid. It also improves cut/tear resistance, reduces permeability, increases swell resistance, and improves the aging properties of rubber compounds. Artic Mist is used in coating, adhesive, and sealant formulations to improve the tensile strength, flexibility, and barrier properties of cured films. The ultrafine top size and high oil-absorption properties make Artic Mist a versatile post-manufacturing additive to adjust gloss of interior and exterior paint and coating formulations.
