Product type
Talc is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It is known for its softness and is often used as a filler or lubricant in various industrial applications. Talc is typically mined from deposits and then processed to produce a fine powder that is used in a variety of products due to its unique properties, such as moisture absorption and chemical inertness.
| Chemical formula | Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 |
| Purity | Typically 85% to 99% talc |
| Particle size | D50 ranging from 1 to 10 microns |
