Polypropylene Talc Compounds

Polypropylene talc compounds are a combination of a polypropylene polymer matrix and talc powder. Talc is a soft, white mineral that is added to polypropylene due to its lubricating, filling, and hardness-increasing properties. These compounds are widely used in various industries such as automotive, packaging, electrical, and electronics.

Why do we use polypropylene talc compounds?

Increase hardness and surface smoothness: Talc increases the hardness of the product surface and creates a smooth and shiny surface.
Reduce friction: The lubricating properties of talc reduce friction between parts.
Improve flowability in molding: Talc acts as a release agent and improves the flowability of the melt in molding.
Reduce cost: Talc is cheaper than many other fillers.
Increase thermal resistance: Talc helps increase the thermal resistance of the composite.

Applications of polypropylene compounds with talc

Automotive industry: Production of interior parts of cars such as dashboards, seat covers and under-hood parts
Packaging industry: Production of durable and lightweight packaging with a smooth surface
Electrical and electronics industry: Production of insulating parts and cable coatings
Construction industry: Production of pipes and profiles with a smooth surface
Home appliance industry: Production of home appliance parts with a glossy surface
