The moment a person meets talc for the first time is the day they are born. The delivery rooms around the world are equipped with talc, starting with the sterile gloves, through a multitude of medical applications and instruments, materials and up to the personal care products used. Talc is one of the very first substances that has contact with our skin, of course natural and safe, making the beginning of our lives smooth and warm.

TALC: THE ALL-ROUNDER

Talc is a complex, highly versatile substance from a mineral source that is sustainably extracted at the AIHAI mining sites (and in many other parts of the world as well). It is ubiquitous in our lives, as well as natural and safe. We encounter talc in bumpers, tyres and other car parts, in cosmetics, in small and large household appliances, in plastics of several kinds , in paints, coatings and sensitive surfaces such as laptops and smartphones. At AIHAI, we mine, grind and deliver talc in various designs and qualities. At AIHAI, talc, the versatile raw material, is what we live and what we like to talk about. Let’s talc.

LET’S TALC HAPTICS.

Paper & Pulp

Sliding your fingertips over a simple sheet of coated paper reveals after a few moments: talc is involved here. Cellulose products such as towels, packaging or modern disposable dishes also acquire their characteristic physical properties not least through talc from AIHAI. Mainly used for modification in the production of paper and cellulose, talc can do a lot more: as a filler, it provides special characteristics of demanding paper types and improves the haptic and technical profiles of the end products thanks to binding properties, as well as the high lamellarity, especially in recycling processes.

LET’S TALC DURABILITY.

Paints & Coatings

Almost everything that you touch, use or look at on an everyday basis owes its properties to the use of talc. From the cereal bowl to the smartphone cover to the water-repellent all-weather clothing or brightly coloured toys that are particularly sturdy and easy to keep in order: talc is the indispensable raw material that gives reliable coatings their physical characteristics and bright colours lasting brilliance.

Paints and coatings play a significant role in heavy duty application, achieving a higher degree of sturdiness, being significantly longer lasting and weather-resistant, especially in the industrial field as well as aircrafts and vessels.

LET’S TALC ENDURANCE.

Plastics & Rubbers

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.
