Talc is a soft mineral composed of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen (Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂). Due to its unique properties—such as softness, lubricity, chemical inertness, and moisture absorption—it has a wide range of industrial, commercial, and cosmetic uses.

Talc (magnesium silicate hydroxide) is a widely used mineral additive in the paint and coatings industry due to its unique physical and chemical properties. It serves multiple functions, from improving paint performance to reducing production costs.

​Talc (chemically known as magnesium silicate hydroxide, Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂) is a widely used mineral additive in the paint and coatings industry. Its unique physical and chemical properties make it a valuable component in various formulations, from architectural paints to industrial coatings.

The addition of talcum powder mainly utilizes the filling properties of talcum powder, reduces coating defects, improves corrosion resistance, and increases the hardness of the paint film.
