MINERAL DEPOSIT AND PRODUCTION:
The Slovakian talc deposit located in Gemerská Poloma was discovered in the 1980s. A decade ago, the necessary investment for its exploitation was undertaken, creating the company Eurotalc, currently integrated in Eurofillers, a minerals division in which Calcinor has a 50% shareholding.
ABOUT:
The mineral talc (steatite, magnesium silicate hydrate, in powdered form talc) is a very common layered silicate with the chemical composition:
Mg3 [Si4O10 (OH) 2].
It is the softest mineral in the world but has a high melting point (1,200-1,500ºC) and a high density (2,700 – 2,900 kg/m³).
Calcinor, supplies highly laminar talc with a high degree of whiteness and high purity from Eurotalc which is marketed under the INTALC brand
Properties
- High purity
- High whiteness
- Chemically inert
- Low oil absorption
- Matting effect (gloss level control)
