In the field of plastics, micronized talc is used in many production applications, from automotive components and household appliances to food packaging (yogurt pots and freshness seals), from window frames to polypropylene containers. This is because talc is exceptionally resistant to scratches, shocks, abrasions, and deformations.
Micronized talc is also used in the production of WPC as it reduces water absorption and improves material shrinkage and deformation. Talc also improves the elastic modulus and softening temperature.
