Food Grade Talc for Biodegradable Plastics | Plastic Additives

Biodegradable plastics, commonly used in food packaging, require materials that ensure both safety and durability due to their direct contact with food. Talc plays a crucial role as an effective nucleating agent in polylactic acid (PLA), significantly improving its crystallization speed and overall crystallinity. When added to PLA, PBAT, and PBS biodegradable plastics, talc enhances mechanical properties such as strength, rigidity, heat resistance, and surface hardness.

Our Advantages

Our TPB series of food-grade talc is free from harmful impurities such as lead, barium, arsenic, and asbestos, making it safe for use in biodegradable plastics. It also boosts the material’s tensile strength, creep resistance, and heat durability
As an efficient nucleating agent in PLA, talc accelerates the crystallization process, thus enhancing the mechanical properties and heat resistance of PLA-based materials, which can also be applied in PBAT and PBS biodegradable plastics
The talc we offer boasts a whiteness level above 90, ensuring excellent quality for a range of biodegradable plastic applications
