Talc is a soft hydrous magnesium silicate mineral. It is frequently coloured by the presence of iron-bearing minerals and trace elements but usually turns white upon fine grinding. The familiar use of talc as a cosmetic powder is minor compared to industrial usage. Talc is chiefly used as a filler in paint, plastics, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and rubber. It is also extensively used in ceramics manufacture and as a filler and coater in the paper industry.
