Silverline 001

Chemical Name: Talc
Chemical Family: Silicates

Silverline 001 is a high-purity platy talc that is used as a flux for high-alumina ceramics and sanitary ware, and the low calcium content makes it an excellent substrate for cordierite catalyst supports. Silverline 001 is an excellent fluxing and processing additive for brick, clay pipe, roofing, and floor tile manufacture.
