Easy dispersibility
Higher solids content of coating slip
Consistency and better quality control during paper coating
No make down cost from dry to wet, as it is supplied in ready to use slurry form
Provides dust free and safe working environment, due to its slurry form

Recommended Grade

Fimcarb - with particle size of d60 to d98 < 2 micron

TALKRON TALC

Talc in Paper Applications

Wolkem’s Talc Milled Grades are used as a filler and coating pigment in rotogravure & offset printing process, in colored papers, labels catalogues, LWC and HWC paper/Board.

As a Filler

  • Decreased porosity
  • Improved opacity
  • Reduces cost
  • The print benefits also allow the increased usage of calcium carbonate in coating formulations in paper mills operating under alkaline conditions.
  • Accelerates water drainage in the paper machine wet-end and impart good cross-sectional strength to paper.
  • Talc’s softness imparts good folding properties to paper board, making the sheet less abrasive on cutters and other converting equipment.

As a Coating Pigment

  • Improved gloss
  • Provides smoothness to surface
  • Imparts print opacity
  • Reduces wear and tear of machineries
  • Reduces use of expensive OBA.
  • Provides a silky feel for matt paper, thereby enhancing reader comfort and touch.

Further Talc Benefits

  • Provides elimination of core burst problem of LWC-Rotogravure printing.
  • Better printability for gravure printed papers.
  • Silk feel for wood-free matt / Semi matt papers.
  • Water based barrier coating for grease resistance
  • Recycle ability
  • Low friction properties
  • Decreased premature breakage of the ink capsules in NCR no carbon required paper.
