Nicron® 503 is a high purity, 5-Hegman microcrystalline talc product with minimal viscosity build. Nicron® 503 is part of the Engineered Series of Magris Talc products that offer unique particle size distributions for improved paint performance properties. Nicron® 503 is an excellent choice for modern protective coating applications due to its hydrophobic nature, very low mineral solubility, and proven anti-corrosion performance. Nicron® 503 disperses easily in high-solids and solventborne coatings and gives very good paint stability, rheology, and anti-settling properties.
