Talc Soaptone Powder
Talc is Magnesium-Silicate-Hydrate with extremely lamellar
structure having high aspect ratio. Because of the platy nature of this
special form of talc, it is considered a Reniforcing Filler in many
plastic application.
Why Use Our Talc
We take utmost care in the selection of soap stone lumps. Only white
colored assorted lumps are used to ensure freedom from impurities. The
micronization and classification further render the material highly
suitable for application where ultrafine size high purity is required.
Features
The main characteristics of talc that make it a unique material for industrial and domestic application are :
- Lamellanity
- Softness
- Chemical Inertness
- Affinity For Organic Chemical
- Whiteness
The main technical function talc is used are
anti-sticking,anti –caking ,lubricant,carrier,thickener, strengthening
filler,smooth filler and absorbent.

Application
- Plastic Industry
- Plastic Industry consumes high quality ultra
fine talc in automotive (bumpers, dashboards, interior trims etc.) and
aesthetic (computer and TV bodies, garden furniture etc.)
Polypropylene, polyamides, cables PVCs and other plastic compounds.
Talc is being increasingly used in HDPE, PP, LDPE, PVC, ABS &
thermosetting compounds. It is excellent filler due to blending
characteristics and thermal and electrical resistance. It is
chemically inert. It provides the smooth feel to plastic surface. Due
to its chemical inertness, superior electrical and thermal resistance
and other properties talc imparts stiffness, hardness, tensile strength
of plastic products, improves quality of their surfaces, gives them
electrical, chemical and thermal resistance.
- Paint Industry
- In paint industry talc is used in production of
decorative paints, industrial coating, pigment pastes, primers,
enamels, adhesives, putties and other products of the industry. Due to
natural properties of paint, imparts corrosion, acid, thermal, air
resistance to them, increase smoothness and stability of paint products.
- Ceramics
- In Ceramics talc is used mostly as a cheap
filler in ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, dinnerware, porcelain and
electrical insulating.
- Paper Industry
- In paper industry talc is used in three stages
of paper making – as a filler, to control pitch and stickies and in
paper coating. During the paper making process, the micro impurities
can clog the paper machinery. Talc being hydrophobic absorbs theses
micro droplets thus controlling their reduction in usage of expensive
whitening agents and helps and helps in controlling gloss of the coat.
Talc gives smoothness, yellow index, porosity, opacity to paper,
improves its yellow index and reduces the deterioration of the
machinery.
- Cosmetics
- In cosmetics talc is used as a body talc and as
filler in some cosmetic products – toothpaste, soap, detergents etc.
Talc imparts stability, texture, water resistance and skin adhesion to
cosmetics. In body talc it acts as a perfume carrier due to its
chemical inertness lamellar structure.
- Pharamaceuticals
- In pharmaceuticals talc is used as filler in
tablets, ointments and dustings. Talc used in this industry must be
highly pure, bacteria free, must contain no iron oxide, dolomite,
carbon and other impurities.
