CIMTALC® 15

CIMTALC® 15 is produced from high purity ore, which provide low iron content, low surface area, and excellent color in dry form as well as when incorporated with resins. CIMTALC® 15 is primarily used in performance polypropylene, where improved tensile strength, flexural modulus, heat distortion temperature, increased stiffness, reduced shrinkage, and lower compounding costs are required. CIMTALC® 15 is platy, hydrophobic, non-abrasive, and chemically inert.
