The Soapstone Powder, which we offer, is ranging from 300 meshes to 700 meshes and from 80% brightness to 98% brightness. We are dependable Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter of Soapstone Talc from Kolkata (West Bengal). 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. The properties that give Talc a wide variety of uses are its extreme softness and smoothness, good luster and sheen, high slip and lubricating property, low moisture content, ability to absorb oil and grease, chemical inertness, high fusion point, low electrical & heat conductivity, high dielectric strength, good retention for filler purposes, whiteness, good hiding power as pigment and high specific heat. 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. Characteristics Of Soapstone Powder Softness Chemical inertness Lamellarity Whiteness Affinity for Organic Chemicals Industrial Uses Of Soapstone Powder In fact, talc is found in everything from animal feed to tires, and has been for millennia.

Plastics Industry Plastics are involved with talc as well. Talc adds the following properties to plastic It improves impact absorbing strength, gives stability, and helps in the electrical insulation of plastics. Talc helps to improve plastic's ability to resist chemical and heat forces, as well as improves plastic's hardness, tensile strength and stiffness. Talc has a huge demand as the filler mineral in plastics, because it is platy, inert, and an electrical resister. Rubber Hoses, Membranes, Sealing, Stoppers & Tires Talc's many uses can also be found in Rubber Companies. It helps give rubber its bounce. Rubber hoses made with talc are used in just about every automobile on the market. With its high heat resistance and bonding power talc helps make the hoses less permeable.
