Description

Talc (Hydrated Magnesium Silicate) – CAS No. 14807-96-6

Talc is a naturally occurring hydrated magnesium silicate known for its softness, smooth texture, and exceptional chemical stability. It is widely used as a natural mineral powder and industrial filler material across various industries, including plastics, paints, cosmetics, rubber, ceramics, and pharmaceuticals.

At Davar ChemTech, we supply high-purity Talc powder sourced from the finest mineral reserves in India. As a trusted Talc supplier and exporter in India, we provide customized grades suitable for both industrial and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring quality, purity, and consistency in every batch.

What is Talc?

Talc is a fine powder mineral composed primarily of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen (Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂). It is the softest mineral on the Mohs scale with a rating of 1, giving it a smooth, slippery feel. Because of its non-reactive, non-toxic, and heat-resistant properties, Talc is an ideal chemical raw material used in a wide range of industries.

Talc’s lamellar structure gives it unique characteristics such as:

  • Excellent lubricating and anti-caking properties
  • High thermal resistance
  • Low electrical conductivity
  • Chemical inertness and non-toxicity

These qualities make Talc powder essential for applications ranging from cosmetics and personal care to industrial coatings and pharmaceutical excipients.

Applications and Uses

Our industrial grade Talc and pharmaceutical grade Talc are formulated to meet global standards for different sectors.

1. Plastics and Polymers

Talc acts as a reinforcing filler material, improving dimensional stability, stiffness, and heat resistance in polypropylene, polyethylene, and other engineering plastics.

  • Enhances strength and impact resistance
  • Improves mold release and finish quality
  • Reduces shrinkage during processing

2. Paints and Coatings

Used as a filler and extender, Talc provides smoothness, opacity, and anti-settling properties.

  • Improves paint durability and coverage
  • Acts as a barrier against moisture
  • Enhances pigment suspension and sheen

3. Cosmetics and Personal Care

In cosmetic-grade Talc, its softness and absorbent properties make it ideal for skincare and makeup formulations.

  • Used in baby powders, face powders, and foundations
  • Provides a silky, matte texture to cosmetics
  • Non-toxic and gentle on skin

4. Rubber and Ceramics

Talc is used as a processing aid and heat-resistant compound in the rubber and ceramics industries.

  • Prevents sticking in rubber molding
  • Improves firing characteristics in ceramic bodies
  • Enhances the strength of ceramic glazes

5. Pharmaceuticals

As a pharmaceutical excipient, Talc powder serves as a glidant, lubricant, and anti-caking agent.

  • Ensures smooth tablet compression
  • Improves powder flowability
  • Used in topical and oral dosage formulations

6. Food Industry

Food-grade Talc is a processing aid in rice polishing, chewing gum, and candy coatings. It is safe, non-toxic, and complies with international food safety standards.
