Talc is a naturally occurring hydrated magnesium silicate mineral widely used as a functional filler in the paint, ink, and coatings industry. It improves opacity, enhances smoothness, and provides excellent rheological control in formulations. Talc’s hydrophobic nature increases water resistance in coatings, while its fine particle size contributes to improved dispersion, durability, and anti-settling properties. It is an essential ingredient in industrial coatings, primers, and specialty inks.
