Grease industry:
With the evolution in the automotive industry, the amount of plastic part in manufacturing of cars was also increased. Since 1950s, plastic materials were used in automobile manufacturing. In fact, use of plastic components was developed when advanced processing systems and tools became available to engineers. Due to the fact that Talc increases the hardness of the product, it is known as an excellent filler in the automotive industry.
The finer the Talc is, the higher the stiffness will result in the polymeric composites, which reduces the weight without interfering with the performance of the product. In fact, most plastic parts of cars are composite materials. The application of thermoplastics, which is filled with Talc, can be ranked according to the final destination; such as the interior, exteriors and under the hood.
For example, in the interior, the instrument panel, the door panel, pillar covers, consoles, seat backs, head liners, it is commonly made with Talc filled polypropylene. It should be noted that features like appearance and resistance to scratches and abrasion in the long run are also required. All of these parts are painted to fulfill car body aesthetic.
