Eurominerals Intalc Grades

Eurominerals Intalc is a versatile tri-octahedral layered mineral (phyllosilicate) with a distinctive lamellar structure. Its general chemical composition is Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂, making it a soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 1. It is chemically inert, insoluble in acids, and has a specific gravity ranging from 2.58 to 2.83 g/cm³.

• Enhanced matting effect
• Improved abrasion resistance, adhesion properties, and rheology
• Higher opacity and weatherproofness
• Excellent dispersibility in water-based and solvent-containing systems
• Higher elasticity and a TiO₂-extender function

• Indoor and outdoor paints
• Plasters (lime, gypsum, cement, and emulsion-based)
• Industrial coatings
• Corrosion protection systems
• Polyester fillers
• Plastics (PP, PE, PA, PMMA)
• Ceramics

The unique properties of Intalc, such as its narrow particle size distribution and reduced fine fraction, make it suitable for preventing “pinholes” and cracks. Additionally, products like Intalc 12060LA and 6020LA provide higher whiteness (up to 92% FMY), lower oil absorption, and improved dispersibility, offering an alternative to mica/mica composites.
