What is the Mineral Talc Used for?
Most of us think of talcum powder when we think of talc, and that is its loose form, but talc has many other uses. It is heat resistant and a poor conductor of electricity, so it can be used in laboratories and kitchens. Talc is also a good lubricant, and it is found in tailor’s chalk, chalk used for metalworking or welding, and cosmetics.
