Talc TMO (1kg, 25kg)

Talc is a natural mineral, layered hydrous magnesium silicate. Light, translucent, with a glassy sheen. The crystal structure is lamellar, reminiscent of mica. Tasteless and odorless, greasy and slippery to the touch, especially if it is moistened - because of this property, talc is also called “soap stone”. Insoluble in water, it conducts heat and electricity poorly. Serves as a good adsorbent; resistant to high temperatures and environmental influences. A very soft mineral, the softest of all minerals. It is cut and easily processed with a regular knife. It is chemically stable and almost does not react with acids, with the exception of hydrofluoric acid. It reacts with alkalis and alkali metal carbonates only at high temperatures. Talc is non-toxic and does not cause allergies. At one time it was believed that inhalation of finely dispersed talc particles could lead to respiratory diseases, but special studies have proven its harmlessness.
