Talc is an important industrial and commercial mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. It has a wide range of industrial applications due to its resistance to heat, electricity, acids and the adsorption of oil and grease.

Talc is widely used in industry for its luster, softness, purity, ability to retain fragrance, softness, and whiteness. It has a Mohs hardness of 1, making it the softest mineral ever discovered. It is both sectile, meaning it can be cut with a knife or scratched with a fingernail. It has a clear gloss and a specific gravity between 2.5 and 2.8.

Talc is slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids and insoluble in water. It is a metamorphic mineral and occurs due to the metamorphosis of magnesium minerals such as olivine, amphibole, serpentine and pyroxene in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. Talc is a three-octahedral layered mineral and is similar in structure to pyrophyllite.

Talc can be used as an ingredient in paints, roofing materials, ceramics, insecticides, rubber, talcum powder and insecticides, among others. It is also used by the cosmetics industry, the pulp and paper industry, and the food industry. Talc is widely used in the manufacture of laboratory countertops and electrical panels because of its resistance to heat, acids, and electricity. It is used as a lubricant by the cosmetics industry and as a filler by the pulp and paper industry. Talc is commonly used to make astringent baby powders that prevent rashes that are covered by a diaper.

Talc is used by the pharmaceutical industry as a lubricant (a substance added to powders to improve flowability) and by the food industry as an additive. In the European Union, the suffix number is E553b. In medicine, talc is used as a pleural effusion agent to prevent pneumothorax or recurrent pleural effusion. Talc is also an effective dispersing and anti-caking agent and helps fertilizer crops and animal feed function efficiently and can be used for fertilizers.

The pulp and paper industry remains the largest global end market for talc and is the primary driver of the talc industry. The automotive industry, the ceramics industry, and the paint and coatings industry are the other big consumers of talc. The use of talc as a filler in the paper industry is declining today, but the use of talc in the manufacture of under-the-hood automotive parts is increasing substantially, which has further resulted in an increase in demand for talc by the automotive industry.

Asia Pacific is the largest market for talc, with China, India, Japan, Bhutan and South Korea being the key markets in this region. The Indian talc industry is the third largest in the world and continues to grow due to increasing domestic consumption. North America and Europe are other regions with significant talc market share. Austria, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom are the main consumers of talc in Europe.

Some of the big companies dominating the talc market are Imerys Talk, Mondo Minerals, Golcha Group, American Talk, IMI FABI, Nippon Talk, Minerals Technologies Inc, Jai Group, Aihai Talk, Behai Talk, Shuiquan Talk, Xin Talk, Haumei Talc B.
