Talc –occurrence and properties In everyday language, talc refers to the mineral, rock, or powder form of the soft layered silicate, talcum. Many different types of talc are used as paper coating pigments. Their properties differ according to the end-use requirements and are defined by the selected ore, milling and classification process and, finally, by the
