Main uses of talc powder

1. In coatings, talc powder is used as a filler, which can act as a skeleton, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve the film hardness of coatings. It is divided into transparent type and covering type ultra-fine talc powder. Transparent ultrafine talc powder is mainly used in oil-based coatings. Covering talc is primarily used in water-based coatings. 2. Talc is mainly used as papermaking filler, coating and resin control and deinking agent in the papermaking industry. As a papermaking filler, talc is mainly used in newsprint, copperplate, offset printing paper, writing paper, etc. Talc can make paper strong and white, increase opacity and brightness, and enhance the ability to absorb ink. Talc has strong adhesion to pigments, allowing color prints to achieve good color effects. 3. When used in rubber, it can increase the volume of the rubber, improve the processability of the rubber, play a semi-strengthening or strengthening role, and can adjust the hardness of the rubber. 4. I...

Next Autopilot trial to test Tesla’s blame-the-driver defense

Epoxy resin is a high molecular polymer with the molecular formula (C 11 H 12 O 3 ) n . It refers to a class of polymers containing more than two epoxy groups in the molecule. It is the condensation product of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A or polyol . Due to the chemical activity of the epoxy group , a variety of compounds containing active hydrogen can be used to open the ring and solidify and cross-link to form a network structure , so it is a thermosetting resin . Bisphenol A-type epoxy resin not only has the largest output and the most complete varieties, but also new modified varieties are still increasing, and the quality is constantly improving. Epoxy resin has secondary hydroxyl groups and epoxy groups , and the secondary hydroxyl groups can react with isocyanates . Epoxy resin is directly added as a polyol to the hydroxyl-containing component of the polyurethane adhesive . Using this method, only the hydroxyl group participates in the reaction, and the epoxy group fails to r...

Automakers score victory as Energy Department weakens EV mileage rule

Automakers and the United Auto Workers union had lobbied DOE to soften its original petroleum equivalency factor rule. They argued that more aggressive targets would have required them to sell more EVs to meet stricter federal fuel economy standards amid uncertain demand, making it impossible to comply. Environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club, asked the Biden administration for stricter MPGe standards in 2021, which had not been updated since 2000. “The automakers’ free ride is over,” said Pete Huffman, senior attorney at NRDC, in a statement. “This important update from the Department of Energy will curtail automakers’ use of phantom credits they used to keep selling gas guzzlers. They now need to hit the accelerator on more fuel-efficient vehicles, saving consumers money at the pump.” The Department of Transportation uses DOE’s petroleum equivalency factor to calculate MPGe and CAFE, which averages the fuel economy of all v...

Volkswagen, Mobileye expand autonomous driving collaboration

For legacy automakers, collaborating with tech companies like Mobileye can speed up the development and rollout of software-powered technology, including more advanced automated driving systems. Just one in four automakers are fully prepared for software-defined vehicles, according to an AlixPartners survey in January. The same report found that Tier 1 suppliers must adapt to automakers’ needs as the industry pivots to building more software-defined vehicles. The Volkswagen Group has collaborated with Mobileye, owned by chipmaker Intel Corp., on autonomous driving technology since 2018. The technology supplier specializes in computer vision processing for highly automated driving functions and vehicle advanced driver assist systems, such as automatic emergency braking and lane centering control. As the companies develop more advanced driving systems, Mobileye will provide the automaker with production-ready technologies, including Level-2 automated driving capabilities. ...

China to challenge Biden’s electric vehicle plans at the WTO

BEIJING — China filed a World Trade Organization complaint against the United States on Tuesday over what it says are discriminatory requirements for electric vehicle subsidies. The Chinese Commerce Ministry did not say what prompted the move. But under a new U.S. rule that took effect Jan. 1, electric car buyers are not eligible for tax credits of $3,750 to $7,500 if critical minerals or other battery components were made by Chinese, Russian, North Korean or Iranian companies. The credits are part of President Joe Biden’s signature climate legislation, named the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. A ministry statement did not mention the specific restriction. It said, though, that under the act and its implementing rules, the U.S. had formulated discriminatory subsidy policies for new energy vehicles in the name of responding to climate change. It said the U.S. move excluded Chinese products, distorted fair competition and disrupted the global supply chain for new energy vehi...

Localization of EV parts without production scalability may not help cut EV price, says President, Amara Raja

New Delhi: Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered to be the future ofmobility, though certain stumbling blocks are keeping most people awayfrom them. According to the Vahan data, EV sales rose by 82% in March2023 YoY to 1.3 lakh units. In 2024, the overall EV sales are expected toslow down according to recent studies. Several factors have collectively contributed to the change in consumerpreference from ICE to EVs. Some of these factors include: increasedavailability of EV charging infrastructure, lower maintenance cost ofEVs, new technology, etc. The maintenance cost of EVs is less than that of ICE vehicles, though thecost ofreplacement of parts in EVs is higher. This increased cost is dueto expensive components used like batteries, motors, and many more.Batteries in EVs which account for almost 50% of cost make themcostlier than the conventional ICE vehicles. Thus to tone down the EVprice, battery cost reduction is inevitable. Indigenization a way to curb high EVprices...
