Talc belongs to the group of phyllosilicates. Depending on the deposit, the size and resulting aspect ratio of the individual talc platelets can vary widely. The bonding forces between the elementary layers are low, with the result that the individual layers easily slide apart. This results in its characteristic softness. Due to the additional high water-repellent properties talc can be used in a variety of applications. Our qualities are characterized by high brightness, purity and fine-grained structure.
