CalTalcs are high purity, high brightness materials characterized by a platy grain shape and closely controlled particle size. They are excellent for use in a wide variety of products including ceramics, paint, coatings, paper, plastic, putty/joint compounds and rubber products. CalTalcs emcompass a series of products ranging from 200 mesh to 3 microns.
