Nicron® 554 is a high-purity microcrystalline talc. The lamellar nature of Nicron® 554 enhances film strength and flexibility and provides barrier properties in architectural and industrial primers and topcoats to improve corrosion resistance and stain-blocking ability. Nicron® 554 is also used in paints to improve sag resistance and maximize prime pigment extension.
