Get up
You slip out of bed, and your free-stretching feet might step on a pair of slippers with calcium carbonate or talc added to them, and the soles are just fine. If you brush your teeth on time, you will have the opportunity to “taste” a toothpaste with added silica, calcium carbonate, and kaolin clay, which help to rub out white teeth. When you don’t have time to eat breakfast, the bread of 5 yuan may be the food you are most concerned about. Of course, many people don’t know that there is already a package of “excipients” hidden in it. This guy is also disguised as calcium carbonate. Are you ready to go to work? Don’t look at the clock, maybe it has 20% heavy calcium carbonate in its sturdy plastic casing. Although you can’t see it, it can accompany you all day and make many things go smoothly. .
Travel
When you’re driving to work, you might be proud of your car, which is fast and fuel-efficient. What you don’t notice, though, is that plastics reinforced with talc or wollastonite or calcium carbonate enable automakers to produce thinner, lighter auto parts, which means you get better fuel performance, and your car Less exhaust is produced. These minerals also increase the structural rigidity of the plastic bumpers, door pillars and dashboards in your car to better protect you, and mica has likely been used to improve the sound insulation of plastic bodies, even if you listen to music disturb passers-by. The paint on your car’s exterior contains minerals that prevent corrosion and improve scratch resistance, so you’ll have no problem keeping your car new for half a year. In addition to the gorgeous bodywork, minerals are also a key ingredient in tires and car exhaust systems, making it hard-wearing even with sudden braking.
Office
When you start work, you probably use paper and a pen in your morning meeting. Both the paper and ink you use contain minerals like calcium carbonate, talc, the paper may be cubic, and the ink may be high-quality transparent spherical calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate improves paper quality and writing. In fact, when a paper mill uses talc and calcium carbonate in its process, it helps keep its equipment running smoothly and efficiently, which also means less waste and less cost passed on to consumers. To put it simply, the price of pen and paper is generally not increased. At the end of the meeting, you are “faced” in the office in a daze. You may not see the minerals on the wall such as talc, mica, kaolin, wollastonite, and phylloxite, but these minerals make the paint easier to apply, more durable, and prevent it. cracked.
After a busy morning, a cup of coffee may help you relieve fatigue. When you pay attention to the taste of coffee, you may not think that minerals are helping you brew coffee. Coffee maker manufacturers use talc and wollastonite, as well as minerals like calcium carbonate, to reinforce the plastic casing of the coffee maker, and your fancy-looking coffee cups may also contain calcium carbonate.
Lunch
At lunchtime, your takeout may be served in an airtight plastic lunch box, which may include talc or wollastonite, which is more rigid. Eating an apple after a meal looks pretty and appetizing because the apple has been treated by the grower with a talc-added sunscreen while it’s on the tree. After lunch, a piece of chewing gum? Maybe calcium carbonate and talc will still be added.
Home
Satisfied, I sat on the floor made of wood-plastic composite materials and rubbed the sturdy floor with my hands. I remembered that the floor was very light when it was renovated, and praised myself for buying good things. In fact, merchants will use a variety of minerals to strengthen their products, and most of them are not expensive. After a short period of comfort, take a shower before going to bed. The shampoos and body washes you use contain minerals like kaolin and talc, which give them a luxuriously creamy or pearlescent finish. Your body and face cleansing skin care products may contain small amounts of perlite beads, an eco-friendly alternative to the plastic beads typically used in exfoliating cosmetics.
It’s bedtime. You go to the bathroom to wash up, brush your teeth before bed, and you may have forgotten the minerals in your toothpaste. However, minerals such as spherical clay, kaolin, feldspar and talc may be used in utensils such as tiles on bathroom floors, washbasins and shower trays.
