Talc (Soapstone)

Up to 95% Whiteness Available in Chips, lumps and Powder

Talc, Hydrous magnesium silicate Mg3Si4O10 (OH)2 is a hydrous magnesium silicate mineral with a chemical composition of Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Although the composition of talc usually stays close to this generalized formula, some substitution occurs. Talc, a mineral made up mainly of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. As a powder, it absorbs moisture well and helps cut down on friction, making it useful for keeping skin dry and helping to prevent rashes.

Applications

Paint

Talc used in paint enhances key properties like color, grind fineness, oil absorption, and chemical inertness. It improves paint film integrity, controls viscosity, prevents sagging, and minimizes abrasion due to its softness. Talc also aids in suspension and settling prevention. With a surface area greater than 12 m²/g, it is ideal for gloss control. Omtalc meets all major industry requirements, with experts available to customize it for production needs.

PLASTICS & COMPOUNDING

Talc is a vital functional filler in thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, primarily used for reinforcing due to its platy particle shape and purity. It enhances polypropylene’s stiffness, heat resistance, reduces molding shrinkage, and improves processing efficiency. Compared to other fillers, talc is less abrasive and improves low-temperature shock resistance. It also serves as an anti-block agent in polyethylene and enhances properties like hot strength and shrinkage reduction in vinyl. Talc’s lubricating effect aids in molding, promotes fire retardancy, and improves the overall physical properties of finished plastic products.

PAPER

Talc is widely used in the paper industry, especially in Europe and Japan, due to its ability to improve ink receptivity, opacity, and brightness while reducing gloss. As a filler, talc has minimal impact on sheet strength and serves as an effective Titanium dioxide extender, offering a weight advantage. Its unique property of wetting oily substances makes it excellent for pitch control in paper manufacturing. Micronized talc enhances the rheological properties, gloss, and brightness when used with other pigments in coatings.

COSMETIC
