Ground talc (micro talc white) whiteness up to 99^

USES OF TALC Some common uses of talc: • Medicine. Talc is used as a filler in tablets, and is included in medications and dietary supplements containing magnesium and calcium. • Cosmetics. Talc is included in creams and lotions for the skin of the body and face, solid deodorants, massage powder, eye shadow, powder, foot cream and powder. • Food industry. Talc is used as a thickener, and also to impart a glossy shine to glaze and caramel (food additive E553b). • Rubber industry. Talc is used as an anti-caking agent that prevents rubber, natural rubber, polymer and leather products from sticking together. • Production of polymers, foam plastics, rubbers, ceramics, pencil leads, special types of paper, mastics and primers, enamels. Talc gives them increased strength. • Paints and varnishes. In paints and varnishes, talc acts as an agent that retains pigments on its surface; improves hiding power, water resistance and anti-corrosion properties. • Metallurgy. Talc is used as a non-stick coating. • Some types of dense talc are used as ornamental and facing stone. The use of talc in modern industry is constantly expanding. Relatively recently, there was only one standard for ground talc, which provided for only four grades of products. Now, according to the norms of several standards and many specifications, several dozen varieties of talc and talcomagnesite are produced. Fundamentally new types of powder have also appeared: micro talc and super micro talc - with particle sizes of 5-10 and 2-5 microns, respectively. The main industries that use talc are the following: Paper and cardboard production is the most actively growing area of product use today. In the production of high-quality papers, special micro talc is used, the distinctive property of which is both an especially finely dispersed composition and high whiteness. Production of paints and putties - for them, various grades of powder are used, from a special pigment-filler with a strictly regulated chemical composition to products that go under the general name of "ground talc". This depends on the area of application of the paint itself, its color, and other conditions. The rubber and plastics industries use grades of talc specially designed for it. The requirements for them, mainly for the presence of impurities, vary depending on how responsible the product is. The most stringent are for the filler for cable sheathing, somewhat less for ordinary rubber filler, and more lenient for products of auxiliary use (for dusting). The roofing materials industry traditionally uses talc powder both for filling and for sprinkling roll materials. In medicine, food and perfume industries, talc is used both in the form of powder and neutral filler for various products. Here, control is provided for many parameters, including, for example, the absence of toxic impurities of arsenic. Talc is also used in agriculture, the production of building mixtures, and in many other industries.
