Food-grade talcum powder is often used as a processing additive in products like chewing gum and candy to enhance texture, alter shape, or extend shelf life. It is important that the talcum powder complies with strict bacterial and heavy metal content standards. Different countries have varying regulations regarding food safety, so our talc meets the necessary standards for use in food products.

With its platy structure, food-grade talcum powder (TPB series) is free of harmful substances such as lead, barium, and arsenic. When added to biodegradable plastics, it improves various properties such as tensile strength, rigidity, creep resistance, heat resistance, and surface hardness. Research shows that talc acts as an effective nucleating agent in polylactic acid (PLA), significantly improving its crystallization speed and degree. This leads to enhanced mechanical properties and heat resistance, making talc an ideal additive for PLA, PBAT, PBS, and other biodegradable plastics.

Talc-filled polypropylene is gaining popularity in the food packaging industry due to its higher rigidity and improved barrier properties, such as reduced oxygen permeability. Talc also enhances extruder output and shortens thermoforming cycles by improving crystallization and heat transfer. These advantages make talc-filled polypropylene highly competitive in food-contact applications, offering great potential in this sector.
