About Product
Pharmaceutical-grade Talc is a purified, naturally occurring mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. It is widely used as a glidant, lubricant, and anti-caking agent in tablet formulations to improve powder flowability and prevent sticking during compression. Talc is also used as a filler in tablets and capsules, ensuring uniform drug distribution. Due to its high purity and chemical stability, it is a preferred excipient in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications.
