produced for industrial use.
i
SIERRA MISTRON TALCS scientifically conceived, produced, and controlled, have the following outstanding properties:
1. Complete control of top particle sixe. No oversize.
2. Partide use distribution controlled in * the fine micron range.
3. Available in platey, granular, and adcu-
lar particle shapes and in combinations thereof.
i4. Whitest color. g. Non-abrasiveness.

MISTRON TALC. Consider what Mistron
talcs will do in YOUR plant:
:
1. H ie grind of ajpaint as measured by the Hegman gauge is proportion ate to its COARSEST particles. The coarsest particles in Mistron talcs are no greater in thickness that that of the finest enamel film. RESULT: Lets grind, a smoother film, and lower production cost
2. Mistron talcs are "mix-in" extenders--require no grind if properly
wetted and dispersed.
,
3. They are a handy tool fewquick consistency increase either in initial formulation or as an after-mix to correct manufacturing deficiencies.
4. They make possible a wide range of fiats or semi-gloat paints and varnishes due to their quick flatting effect They are the handiest products available for control of sheen in eggshell enamels.
5. They improve suspension and promote can stability.
6. They improve brushing a t the same time as they reduce sagging)
7. In sealers they im jurt smoothness, promote adhesion, and enhance
"stand-out" of the finish coat. Require little or no sanding.
!
The selection of a particular Mistron talc depends upon the properties desired. Siena Mistron talcs are matte in a wide enough range of types to fit any need.
MISTRON T-076: This is the most versatile Mistron. It is high enough in oil absorption for sufficient flatting but does not build up too high a consistency. It can be safely used m any type of paint or varnish, including latex emulsion paints.
MISTRON F-128: Recommended for use where lower consistency and less flatting is desired than with T-076. Permits greater pigment loading.
MISTRON HG-75: Its great uniformity of particle shape makes it ideal for sanding sealers and for paints that have to pass rigid salt-spray and flexibility tests.
MISTRON HGO-75: Yields the highest consistency of any Mistron. Its low soluble salts content as indicated by its high specific resistance and its platey particle shape makes it the recommended grade for all latex ana other types of emulsion punts.
MISTRON MSC: This sensational new coated Mistron offers many intriguing possibilities. The finest of all the Mistrons, it is at the same time the lowest in oil absorption and consistency. I t can be used up to 28% in alkyd gloss enamels without flatting. I t adds great slip and flow to enamels that are ordinarily difficult to spread without sagging. It is non-settling in primers and enamels.
SIERRA MISTRON TALCS will solve many of your manufacturing difficulties, improve your product, and lower your production costs.

PLASTICS
Mistron T-076 is recommended for use in
any plastic product where a mineral filler
is indicated. It has proven particularly.valu-
able as a filler in polyester resin-fibreglass molded or laminated plastics.
I t promotes add resistance because of its low carbonate content Its
Irregular particle shape and extreme fineness retard settling. It is nonhydroacopic. It improves corrosion resistance. It promotes a smoother finish. It will not break down under forcing heat or pressure. It will not absorb an excessive amount of the plastic. It permits heavier loading.
PRINTING INK Most of the properties that make Mistron valuable in paint manufacture are applicable
to printing ink except that softness and nonabmriveness arar even more important than in paint. Hard or gritty
extenders cause undue type wear when the ink is used. The printing ink
manufacturer is assured of soft texture and freedom from hard oversize particles when using Mistron. Mistron T-076 has found favor in some of the largest printing ink plants in the country. Any of the Mistrons except F-128 are suitable for this use because they all meet the above requirements of the industry.
PAPER
The paper industry has never before had
available a filleror coating talc of the quality
ofMISTRON HGO-75. Its great brightness,
extreme fineness, and platey particle structure make it the ideal ex
tender for titanium dioxide. Calendered paper will take on a greater
smoothness and a better writing, or printing surface when Mistron HGO-75 is used than with any other filler. It is non-abrasive on screens and cutting knives. Its low carbonate content assures its non-reactivity with alum. It will detract from hiding power and opacity to a lesser
degree than other commonly used minerals.
CERAMICS
Where increased body density or increased
consistencyisdesired in ceramicsMISTROX
HG-75 will prove a valuable product. Being
the most chemically pure of the various Mistrons it is particularly
recommended for use in steatite insulators and other types of electrical
ceramics. Due to its extremely fine {article rise and uniform granular
particle shape, it tends to fill the pores and greatly increase density of
the green ami fired ware. This greater density has been found to improve the electrical properties of such ceramics. Greater shrinkage due to greater fineness can largely be compensated for by increasing the forming pressure of dry pressed bodies.
COSMETICS
Mistron HGO-75 meets all the requirements
of the cosmetic industry. Its platey particle
shape imparts smoothness and slip. It is uni
formly white and remarkably pure. Its low apparent density imparts
bulk and fluffinesi to face and body powders. Its fine particle size and
excellent suspension properties indicate its value in liquid and semi
liquid
i t is an excellent extender for zinc or titanium dioxide.
It is completely inert. Mistron HGO-75 will not cause loss of fragrance
or color shadings.

S IERRA Talc & Clay Company, with headquarters in South Pasadena, operates four mills, located in Los Angeles and in the Owens Valley of California as well as in Grand Island, Nebraska. Fourteen mining properties operated by Sierra in California, Nevada and Montana yield all the known types of t a l c steatite, fibrous, platey, and tremolitic. Control laboratories are located at each mill, and a large central laboratory is maintained at headquarters for research and development.
The availability of necessary raw talcs, plus expert mining technique, production know-how and laboratory control and research, makes possible a SPECIFIC Sierra Talc for every known use.
