Industries we serve
Aluminium Powder is a fine, granular material produced from high-purity (99.7%) electrolytic-grade Aluminium ingots using advanced atomization and milling techniques.
Lightweight and highly reactive, with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and high reflectivity, it is used in varied industries such as Infrastructure, Construction, Mining, Agriculture, Defence, Automotive and Aerospace.
Pyrotechnics & Explosives
Fast, hot combustion for fireworks and blasting compositions.
Propellants & Rocketry
High-energy fuel for solid rocket boosters.
Paints & Pigments
Reflective metallic finishes for coatings.
Welding & Thermite
Thermite heat for rail welding and cutting.
AAC Concrete Blocks
Gas-forming agent for aerated concrete.
Applications and usageGrades that serve them
| AAC concrete blocks | Construction. Gas-forming flake reacts in the alkaline slurry to evolve hydrogen, and the bubbles set the block’s cell structure. TALCRETE® NP, TALCRETE® 80, TALCRETE® 90 |
|---|---|
| Explosives | Mining. Flake powder acts as a sensitiser in slurry explosives, and surface treatment holds that behaviour across varying pH. TALFLAKE® Explo Standard |
| Pyrotechnics | Fireworks. Fine, highly reactive particles burn fast and hot, producing the brilliant sparks and flames of a composition. TALFLAKE® Explo Standard |
| Agrochemicals | Grain storage. Coarse flake reacts with phosphorus in the production of aluminium phosphide, used as a fumigant for stored grains. TALPH® Standard |
| Paints and coatings | Coatings, textiles and plastics. Leafing paste forms a continuous metallic layer at the surface of the film, giving the bright reflective finish. TALPASTE® M-12L |
| Welding and thermite | Rail and heavy-section repair. The thermite reaction with iron oxide generates heat intense enough to melt steel. Grade recommendation on request |
| Propellants and rocketry | Space and defence. High-energy combustion makes aluminium powder a fuel component in solid rocket propellants. Grade recommendation on request |
| Atomised powders | Metallurgy and industry. High-purity atomised powders, granular through to superfine, cut to a customer’s specification. the TALTOM® range |
