This company produces large-scale quantities of talc and calcium carbonate nanomaterials. Very chemically active, these ultrafine nanopowders, called NanoTalc and NanoCalc, have extremely large specific surface areas (NanoTalc's specific surface area is 270 [m.sup.2]/g, as compared to 20 [m.sup.2]/g for conventional talc), and produce stronger, more ductile materials.
