Talc
The Soft Mineral with Hardworking Applications

High Purity and Whiteness
Our Afghan talc is renowned for its consistent brightness and low impurities, making it suitable for sensitive applications like cosmetics, food additives, and pharmaceuticals.
Natural Lubricity
Talc’s lamellar structure gives it excellent lubrication properties, which improve processing in plastics, paper, and rubber industries by reducing friction and wear.
Chemical Inertness
Talc is chemically stable and non-reactive, which makes it a safe and effective filler or additive in paints, coatings, and polymers without altering the base material’s properties.
Moisture Resistance
Its hydrophobic nature helps prevent moisture absorption in applications like cable insulation, roofing materials, and moisture-sensitive cosmetic powders.
Applications
Talc in powder form is widely used in cosmetics and personal care for products like baby powder and foundation due to its silky texture and moisture-absorbing qualities. In the plastics industry, it serves as a filler to improve strength and thermal stability. Talc lumps are primarily used in ceramics, paints, and paper production, where they are processed into fine grades for specific performance criteria. Its inertness also makes it valuable in pharmaceuticals as a binding agent and anti-caking ingredient.
