Abstract: A talc slurry and a method of producing the talc slurry. A talc product includes the talc slurry having total solids (TS) 40% or higher and a dispersant agent and/or a thickener.
Abstract: The present invention relates to thermoplastic resin compositions, particularly polyolefines, polyvinylchloride and polyamide. The thermoplastic resin compositions contain between 3 and 400% by weight of filler based on the weight of the resin, said filler comprising talc and microsilica where the weight ratio between talc and microsilica is between 15:1 and 1:15. The invention further relates to a method for the production of thermoplastic resin compositions, and to a filler blend for use in thermoplastic resins, said blend containing talc and microsilica in a weight ratio between 15:1 and 1:15.
