• Surface treatment contract service

Our company has been manufacturing powder of "talc," a type of inorganic mineral, for many years, and as a culmination of our efforts, we have successfully developed talc with submicron particle size, which is used in advanced materials fields. We offer our expertise in ultrafine particle manufacturing technology as contract milling services. From several micrometers to submicron sizes, we carry out the entire process from raw material unpacking to grinding and product packaging in a dedicated facility, paying maximum attention to contamination. Additionally, we conduct various analyses, including precise particle size distribution measurements using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

In response to the demand for products below 1μm, we began development and successfully concentrated our technological development capabilities. In conventional technology, when talc is micronized, the original characteristic plate-like particle shape is somewhat compromised. NANO ACE, however, is completely different from conventional talc, having been micronized while maintaining its plate-like shape. Furthermore, a significant feature is that the maximum particle diameter is also adjusted. <D-1000 Nano Product (NANO ACE Series)> Whiteness (Hunter method): 96 (%) Particle size D50 (laser diffraction method): 1.0 (μm) Moisture (JIS-K5101): 0.5 (%) Apparent density (JIS-K5101): 0.10 (g/ml) Specific surface area (BET method): 20 (m2/g) Oil absorption (JIS-K5101): 54 (ml/100g)
