Talc/Soapstone
Talc, also known as Soapstone or Steatite, is an alteration product of original or secondary Magnesium minerals. Talc is a hydrous Magnesium Silicate, and its chemical composition corresponds to 63.5% Silica (SiO2), 31.7% Magnesia (MgO), and 4.8% water (H2O). In nature, chemically pure Talc is very rare and typically contains some contaminations. Talc has a greasy or soapy feel, and pure Talc is characterized by extreme softness. It possesses good luster or sheen, high slip or lubricating power, good hiding power, and the ability to absorb specific types of oils and grease. Talc is inert to most chemical reagents, although it exhibits a marked alkaline pH of 9-9.5. It also has low electrical and thermal conductivity. Talc is widely used in many industries as a filler/extender and for other industrial applications, owing to its natural physical and chemical properties, and its relatively low price.
Talc's usefulness in industrial applications stems from its lamellar platy nature, softness, whiteness, hydrophobic features, atmospheric & acid resistance, high thermal strength, chemical inertness, high dielectric strength, high melting point, and absorption features. Particle size distribution is a critical parameter in most Talc applications. Talc is used for paints, paper, plastics, and cosmetics, with whiteness ranging from 80% to 98% and fineness up to 800 meshes, along with varying calcium content ranging from 0.5 to 15%.n occurs while the sediment undergoes lithification, a process in which layers of dead clam and other sea animal shells are converted into crystallized calcite or calcium carbonate. The resultant dolomite mineral, CaMg(CO3)2, is a true double salt. The calcium and magnesium ions in dolomite exist in separate layers within the crystal matrix. Specifically, the structure of dolomite consists of alternating layers: a calcium layer, followed by a carbonate layer, then a magnesium layer, and another carbonate layer, and so on.
Talc Powder for Cosmetic Industry
Finely ground talc is used as the powder base for many cosmetic products. The tiny platelets of talc powder readily adhere to the skin but can be washed off easily. Talc's softness allows it to be applied and removed without causing skin abrasion. It also has the ability to absorb oils and perspiration produced by human skin. Talc's ability to absorb moisture and odor, adhere to the skin, serve as a lubricant, and produce an astringent effect in contact with human skin make it an essential ingredient in many antiperspirants. In 2011, about 7% of the talc consumed in the United States was used in cosmetics and antiperspirants.
