DELUX Talc we offer is handpicked and sorted to remove objectionable foreign materials. During the process of grinding, hard and coarse particles are further eliminated by air floatation, resulting in a very fine powder consisting of platy or foliated particles. The material is free from dirt and grittiness, extremely smooth and unctuous with pearly luster and sheen, low moisture content, chemically inert and able to absorb grease and oil.
MATERIAL: Refined and processed Talc powder [hydrated magnesium silicate - Mg3Si4O10 (OH)2]
USES: As a Lubricant / Glidant in the manufacture of Tablets and as scented Body Talc.
PACKING: Packed in 3 Tier - Double high density laminated polythene woven bags with an additional loose inner polythene liner, capacity 50 Kgs. SPECIFICATION
