Talc

What is Talc?

Talc is a versatile mineral, widely used in various industrial applications. The nature of deposit, formation of talc is index of its chemical purity, Particle shape and other physical features. It possesses some unique and unusual properties , which make it ideal for it ideal for multiple uses.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Chemical inertness
High Dielectric strength
High Thermal Conductivity
Low Electrical Conductivity
Oil& Grease absorption
Specific gravity: 2.7

Application of Talc

In cosmetics, talc is compounded into products which are not absorbed by the human body. Talc ore is ground to semi fine powder to produce and maintain the right size and shape spectrum and controlled particle size distribution thus avoiding the clogging of skin pores and there by maintaining normal body functions of perspiration etc.

Talc acts as an important extender pigment in paints. Good spreading properties help in use of talc filled paints as primer, emulsion and exterior under coats. Talc produces a moisture resistant finish when emulsion paints are applied. Talc also improves rheological behavior of paints.

Talc processes chemical inertness, high dielectric strength, high thermal conductivity and low electric conductivity which make useful for ceramic and refractory applications. Talc acts as a flux by lowering the firing temperature and quickening the firing time.

Talc acts as a lubricants, non-sticking and mould releasing agent during manufacturing. It is used even at an elevated temperature in rubber manufacturing. Talc being hydrophobic in nature reinforces the cured rubber and imparts good insulation properties in specialized applications .

Talc mainly acts as active binder/surfactant that holds together other ingredients and imparts softness & gloss in addition to perfume retention. Low level of iron content in talc helps to overcome discolorations problems. Talc imparts better surface finish and thereby acts as a surfactant and binder for all other ingredients.
