Next several years, the demand will grow the Before the report estimates 2006, the talc expends on the plastic the yearly average grows above 3%, this is mainly the dependence in PP application increase, specially uses in the automobile industry the PP packing enhancement modification, because the automobile industry reduces the weight and the material recovery takes the selection the important basis. The development is extremely thin, the dense submicron level talcum powder to be able to further improve the plastic performance and to enhance the supplies plastics industry selling price . Moreover, before estimating 2006, North America and the Western Europe coating industrial used talc expends by 2% above yearly average speed increases progressively, but develops the Asia and the Latin America yearly average increased range may reach 4%-7%.
