MAGRIS TALC

Nicron 554 is a high purity microcrystalline talc. The lamellar nature of Nicron 554 enhances film strength and flexibility and provides barrier properties in architectural and industrial primers and topcoats to improve corrosion resistance and stain-blocking ability. Nicron 554 also is used in paints to improve sag resistance and maximize prime pigment extension. Nicron 554 could also be used in plastics to enhance stiffness, HDT, and dimensional stability. In rubber, it reduces viscosity, improves processing, and acts as a dusting/parting agent.

Nicron 604 is high purity microcrystalline talc. The lamellar nature of Nicron 604 enhances film strength and flexibility, and provides barrier properties in architectural and industrial primers and topcoats to improve corrosion resistance and stain-blocking ability. Nicron 604 is also used in paints to improve sag resistance and maximize prime pigment extension. Nicron 604 could also be used in plastics to enhance stiffness, HDT, and dimensional stability. In rubber, it reduces viscosity, improves processing, and acts as a dusting/parting agent.

Nicron 660 is off-white, platy, high purity, very fine talc, which is primarily used in paints and coatings. Nicron 660 has excellent flatting characteristics, superior anti-settling properties, and is the product of choice in gelcoats. Nicron 660 is used in rubber and wire and cable applications to reduce viscosity, improve processing, and enhance reinforcement, elongation, barrier properties, and dusting/partitioning functions. It could also be used in plastics for crystal nucleation and to increase stiffness, HDT, and dimensional stability.

Nicron 665 is off-white, high purity, platy, ultrafine talc that is a highly effective gloss control additive in paints and coatings. Nicron 665 could be used in performance plastics and plastic films for excellent nucleation and very good stiffness, HDT, dimensional stability, and aesthetics. Nicron 665 could also be used in rubber applications to reduce viscosity, improve processing, and enhance reinforcement, elongation, tear/cut resistance, barrier properties, and dusting/partitioning functions.

Nicron 674 is an ultra-fine, high purity microcrystalline talc. It is insoluble in mineral acids, hydrophobic, and non-abrasive to compounding and processing equipment. Nicron 674 is used in a wide variety of applications, including interior/exterior coatings, color concentrates, adhesives, sealants, and thermoplastic polymers. The high Hegman fineness of Nicron 674 permits maximum extension of prime pigments, promotes weather resistance, and improves barrier properties and stain blocking properties in interior/exterior coatings and industrial primers. Because of the platy particle shape and ultra-fine grind, Nicron 674 acts as a reinforcing agent and improves film strength without degrading the flexibility of the film. Nicron 674 prevents tannin bleed and improves gloss uniformity in semi-transparent and solid color wood stains. Nicron 674 is widely used in adhesive, sealant, caulks, joint compounds, wood putty, and auto body patch applications to enhance workability and sanding properties. The consistent quality and tight top particle size control of Nicron 674 improves the impact-to-stiffness ratios in thermoplastics and makes Nicron 674 an effective anti-block additive in thin gauge polyolefin films. The fine particle size also allows efficient nucleation of crystalline polymers such as PE, PP, POM, polyamides, and polyesters.
