Talc is a mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula H2Mg3 (SiO3)4 or Mg3Si4O10 (OH)2. It is very soft and can be cut with a knife. Talc is insoluble in water, but it is slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids. Its color ranges from white to grey or green, and it has a distinctly greasy feel. Its streak is white.

In addition, we offer the Soapstone Powder, which has the advantage of being relatively abundant. Talc is used in many industries such as paper making, plastic, paint and coatings, rubber, food, electric cable, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, ceramics, etc. A coarse grayish-green high-talc rock is soapstone or steatite and has been used for stoves, sinks, electrical switchboards, etc.
Talc is found in everything from animal feed to tires, and has been for millennia. As long as 15,000 years ago, cave dwellers used talc in their paints. For at least 5,000 years, it has been used in cosmetics, especially as a skin lightener, and 1,000 years ago, the Chinese began using it in their glazed pottery.
