Talc is put to use in the automotive industry, in its exterior mirror housings and rrubber tyres, in order to improve resistance and take advantage of the natural both soft and durable properties of talc. Besides using talc in the automotive industry, appliances become sturdier and resistant to higher temperatures, which are two of many important factors in the manufacturing of white goods such as fridges, washing machines, kitchen stoves and many more. Home appliances simplify our daily routines, make our life safer and the covers of household devices containing talc are aesthetically pleasing.
Modern polymers must constantly meet higher mechanical requirements and become lighter in order to reduce vehicle emissions, for example – but without losing their resistance. The engineers in our worldwide AIHAI re- search and development are therefore constantly involved in supporting our customers in order to give the natural raw material talc a tailor-made performance.
Talc is used in thermoplastic casings and enclosures such as computers, televisions and electronic equipment. It improves dimensional stability, reduces thermal expansion and other changes to the appearance of polypropylene materials.
Wear and tear, weather resistance and conductivity are substantial concerns in the field of rubber production. Due to its features, talc can therefore be optimally put to use in the manufacturing of rubbers such as cables, tyres and seals.
