Raw talc is white, odorless, soap-feeling powder (whiteness 93-95, bulk density 0.78-0.83 g/cc) serving cosmetics (body powder, makeup), pharmaceuticals (tablet lubricant/glidant), plastics (filler), ceramics, and paper industries where its softness (softest mineral, Mohs hardness 1) and chemical inertness provide functional benefits. The 200-mesh retention specification (0.00-2.00% indicates very fine grinding) determines application suitabilitycosmetic-grade requires ultra-fine particles for smooth skin feel, pharmaceutical-grade needs specific particle size distribution for tablet compression properties, industrial-grade accepts coarser particles for plastic reinforcement or paper coating. Buyers care about: heavy metal content (especially asbestos-free certification critical for cosmetic/pharma use after historical contamination issues), particle size distribution consistency, and whiteness for products where color affects final appearance like face powders or white plastic compounds.
