AGRICULTURE

American talcs are ideal for seed coating with the following advantages:

• Improved seed flow rate and seeder application control
• Talc application improves seed size uniformity, which provides more consistent seed application and reduces over seeding.
• Talc is lower in pH than limestone which reduces seed germination pH issues.
• Talc reduces abrasiveness and planter equipment wear.
• Talc is an excellent carrier for all types of seed additives such as fungicides, herbicides, and nitrogen fixing bacteria.
• Talc is chemically inert and extends the seeds’ shelf life.

In Agricultural feeds, American talcs:

• Improves the flow ability of sticky Ag feed ingredients such as cottonseed, oily meals, or molasses additives. 
• Are a low cost magnesium supplement.
• In addition to anti-caking, talc speeds up the drying and packaging processes, and improves the shelf life of ag products. 

In Agricultural chemicals, American talcs:

• Are a good inert carrier for insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides allowing more uniform distribution, a reduction in active ingredient, and improved shelf life.
