Talcum powder is a soft white powder made from the mineral - Talc. Talc constitutes magnesium, silica, and oxygen. We produce talcum powder in the purest form pertaining to paper grade and cosmetic grade (Micronised). For the past three decades, we have been producing and delivering talcum powder to well-known paper and cosmetic industries. The Talcum Powder produced by us has a brightness ranging from 80% to 95%.
Get A quoteMainly used as a filler for the manufacturing of plastic, talc particles increase the stiffness of products such as polypropylene, vinyl, polyethylene, nylon, and polyester. It also increases the heat resistance of the aforementioned products and reduces shrinkage.
Talc is used in the manufacturing of ceramic products such as bathroom fixtures, ceramic tile, pottery, and dinnerware.
Most paints are suspensions of mineral particles, which is Talc. alc is used as an extender and filler in paints.
When the pulp of organic fibers is rolled, Talc is extensively used as a filler to improve the opacity, brightness, and whiteness of the paper.
Finely ground talc is used as the powder base in many cosmetic products. Talc’s softness allows it to be applied easily and also removed easily, plus it can absorb odor.
Talc is added to the asphaltic materials which are used to make roofing materials.
