TALC
Talc is a phyllosilicate mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2
Talc is the world's softest mineral and an industrial raw material in powder form, which is valued for its diverse properties by a wide range of applications.
Talc is used as an anti-sticking agent, an anti-caking agent, a lubricant, a carrier, a thickener, a strengthening filler, a smooth filler, and an adsorbent.
BENTONITE
Bentonite is a naturally occurring plastic clay with the chemical formula (Na,Ca) (Al,Mg) 6(Si4O10) 3(OH)6 nH2O largely composed of the mineral Montmorillonite. Its volume increases several times on contact with water to create a gelatinous, viscous fluid.
The special properties of bentonite (hydration, swelling, water absorption, viscosity, thixotropy) make it a valuable material for a wide range of uses and applications

SEPIOLITE
Sepiolite is a hydrated magnesium silicate with the ideal formula Si12Mg8O30(OH)4(OH2)4.8H2O.
It is a non-swelling, lightweight, porous clay with a large specific surface area and needle-like morphology.
The high surface area and porosity, as well as the unusual particle shape of this clay account for its outstanding sorption capacity and colloidal properties that make it a valuable material for a wide range of applications.

ORGANOCLAY
Organocalys are produced using special, sophisticated industrial technology that includes total purification of Bentonite mineral. Particularly refined and processed to smaller (nano) dimensions, are used as innovative materials called NANOCLAYS, for the manufacture of nanocomposites in the Plastics and Elastomeric Rubber industries especially where Flame Retardancy is required.
BLEACHING EARTH
Before vegetable oils can be safely consumed, they have to be processed with Bleaching Earths in order to remove impurities, both for commercial and health purposes. The bleaching process essentially removes some colour from the oil; reduces chlorophyll and carotinoids; removes soap, gums and trace metals; and decomposes oxidation products.
