Soapstone is often used as an insulator or housing for electrical components, due to its durability and electrical characteristics and because it can be pressed into complex shapes before firing.
Soapstone Products are the type of metamorphic rocks which are composed of the mineral talc and are also rich in Magnesium. The high talc content makes these products relatively soft. Due to its durability and electrical characteristics, these products are often used as an insulator or housing for electronic components. These products are highly acknowledged by the customers because of its impervious quality and density as these are also used for many bathroom applications
Talc (Soap Stone ) whitness 85% to 98% lumps & fine powder export quality
Talc is used in many industries, including paper making, plastic, paint and coatings, rubber, food, electric cable, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and ceramics. A coarse grayish-green high-talc rock is soapstone or steatite, used for stoves, sinks, electrical switchboards, etc.
Talc is the word’s softest mineral. Although all talc ores are soft, platy, water repellent and chemically inert, no two talcs are quite the same. Talc is a vital Part of everyday life. The magazines we read, the polymers in our cars and houses, the paints we use and the tiles we walk on are just some of the products that talc enhances.
Talc is a hydrated magnesium sheet silicate with the chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. The elementary sheet is composed of a layer of magnesium-oxygen/hydroxyl octahedral, sandwiched between two layers of silicon oxygen tetrahedral. The main or basal surfaces of this elementary sheet do not contain hydroxyl groups or active ions, which explains talc’s hydrophobicity and inertness.
