- Advantages and properties
- Highly lamellar, the softest mineral (Mohs hardness 1)
- Very high whiteness => suitable for applications in plastic, paper or coating industry
- Top cut to 10 microns
- Hydrophobic (water-repellent), not soluble in water
- Chemically inert, acid and alkali resistant
- Organophile (binds easily with organic materials)
- Electrically and thermally insulating
- Product Highlights
As talc is the softest mineral it is very often also found in the cos-metics and pharmaceutical sector. Since a long time ago the high lamellar and platy material is used for care products.
Talc is primarily used as a basis for powders but as well for rouges, eye shadow and shimmer for powders. Further it is used as lubricant and thinning agent for pills.
Through the characteristics of talc it is possible to save costs and guaranty high quality of the end product.- Effects and benefits
- Talc is able to achieve a delayed ef-fect of an active substance
- Prevents sticking of the pills
- Works as processing aid
- Regulates the homogeneity and quality
- Excellent fragrance carrier
- Gives creams a matt effect
- Increase the softness of the product
- Improves foam ability of soaps

- Application Examples
- Plastics: Filler medium for polypropylene/polyamide/polyethylene; increases rigidity and whiteness levels, acts as nucleating agent, insulating, flame-retarding, water-repellent
- Paints and coatings: Architectural, coating and corrosion protection, gindable systems, adhesives; improved visocosity and covering power, prevents sedimentation, fixes pigments
- Paper: Filler material, pitch control, surface coating; imporves whiteness, opacity and printability
- Ceramics, rubber, asphalt: Filler material; increases rigidity and temperature resistance, reduces processing temperature
- Pharmacy and cosmetics: powder, additve for pills; servers as a carrier for both dry and moistrue materials
- Food and animal feed Release agent and carrier substance for colors and nutrients (food additive E553b), flow regulating agent
- Other uses: Process additive, lubricant and anti-adhesive, clearing effect in waste water
