·        Talc finds important application in the pharmaceutical industry in tablet manufacture. It imparts crucial properties to the tablets, thereby making it suitable and functional.

·         Talc is slippery in nature and therefore allows the tablet to glide smoothly down the throat.

·         The lamellar structure of Talc allows for significant compression of tablet.

·         Talc provides disintegration properties that enable the tablet to disintegrate once in the body.

·         Importantly, Talc is non-allergenic and non-irritant and is thus perfectly suited for bodily consumption.

·         The pharmaceutical industry requires extremely high quality Talc containing minimum Impurities. The iron content must be less than 0.1%. Natural material of such purity is generally not found and pharmaceutical Talc is prepared by passing the high purity powdered Talc over a magnetic separator to reduce the iron content.
