What is SEA and MEA Talc?

Talc is known to mankind since ages. It is a natural mineral that is mined from the earth and consists of magnesium, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen. Talc is a hydrous magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Talc has no smell. In addition to weak acids and alkalis, it is insoluble in water. Despite having a strong affinity for some organic compounds, talc typically exhibits very little chemical reactivity. It is neither flammable nor explosive. Due to its resistance to heat and electricity and resistance to absorption of acids, oil, and grease, it is very widely demanded by several industries. Its characteristics are the softness of the mineral, capability of retaining the fragrances, purity, and white color.It is utilized in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products. It can be used, for example, to wick away moisture, stop caking, make face cosmetics opaque, or enhance product feel. Paper, plastics, paints and coatings (such those used on metal moulds), rubber, food, electrical cables, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and ceramics are just a few of the numerous areas where talc is used. Naturally, talc is obtained in the form of Steatite, often known as soapstone, in a coarse, grey-green rock with a high talc content that is used for electrical panels, slabs, and other things. Surfaces for lab tables and switchboards are frequently constructed with this material because of its resilience to heat, electricity, and acids. Additionally, it is utilized in medicinal items as a preservative or as a food ingredient. Talc is a substance that is used in medicine during pleurodesis to stop recurrent pneumothoraxes or pleural effusions.
