Talc soapstone

What is Talc Soap stone?

Talc is a rock known as steatite or soapstone, which is composed of varying proportions of the mineral talc, often combined with other minerals such as chlorite and carbonate. Talc is an industrial raw material in powder form, which is used in a wide range of applications. It is the softest mineral in the World. Although there are many different varieties of this mineral ore but they have this basic characteristics of being soft and platy. Talc is a very important part of everyday lives. The magazines we read, the polymers in our cars and houses, the paints we use and the tiles we walk on are just some of the products that uses this performance mineral.Talc is a hydrated magnesium sheet silicate with the chemical formula Mg3 Si4 O10 (OH)2.This chemical composition makes it practically insoluble in water, weak acids and alkali’s. It is neither explosive nor flammable as it has very little chemical reactivity.The most common host of talc ore bodies is dolomite and ultramafic rocks.
 

Uses of Talc:

  • Talc in Plastics
  • Talc in Ceramics
  • Talc in Paint
  • Talc in Paper
  • Talc in Cosmetics and Antiperspirants
  • Talc in Roofing Materials

QC of Raw Material

  • One year ago established one of the first modern laboratory with state of the art equipment totally dedicated to monitoring strict quality control of our products.
  • We conduct a long series of laboratory tests and the huge database collected over the last year boosts our customer’s confidence in our talc.
  • Whiteness, brightness and color characterization of our talc is done in-house on modern equipment, as well as other parameters with LOI furnaces and XRF spectrometers.
  • Product stewardship procedures include:

1.Mapping our deposits and practicing selective mining as needed to avoid impurities – including those that occur naturally in many ore bodies

2.Sampling and testing the ores we mine and purchase to analyze their composition, quality and safety

3.Sampling and testing our finished products to ascertain their composition, quality and safety

4.Investing in equipment and monitoring and encouraging safe workplace behaviors

Then the talc ores will be sorted according to their talc content and brightness. From talc rock to talc powder, the talc processing plant involves crushing, washing, sorting, analysis, milling (grinding, pulverizing) and packing etc.
