Talc For Agriculture

Introduction of Talc for agriculture：

Talc ore is mined in the mineral state with layered structure and can be white, pink, light green, or gray in color. When it is pulverized, white or gray powder is obtained.

The chemical name of talc is hydrous magnesium silicate (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2).
Talc has a true specific gravity of 2.7 and Mohs hardness of 1, which is the softest inorganic mineral that offers excellent heat resistance and chemical stability.

Talc powder in agriculture is an effective anti-caking agent, dispersing agent and dies lubricant that helps the animal feed and the fertilizer plants to function in a more efficient way. In agricultural chemicals, it has been considered as an ideal inert carrier. Talc powder is also used as an anti-stick coating agent in a number of food products including chewing gum, boiled sweets and also for rice polishing. In olive oil production, talc powder as a processing aid increases the yield and improves the clarity of the oil.

Main uses of Talc powder for agro:

★Fertilizers

Talc in fertilizers makes excellent coating agents preventing caking and dust. Complex and nitrogen / phosphate fertilizers have a natural tendency to cake. Caking can occur during both storage (in bulk or in bags) and transportation. Caked fertilizer cannot be sold and has to be returned to the manufacturer, resulting in a waste of time, materials and money.

Talc in fertilizers is used in both powdered and granular fertilizers where they make excellent coating agents which:

Prevent fertilizer caking - Talc’s smooth, flat lamellae cover each fertilizer granule, thus helping them to flow freely.

Reduce water pick-up – Talc powder is naturally hydrophobic and forms a barrier around the fertilizer granules which limits water pick-up.

prevent the formation of hydrate crystal bridges allowing products to be stored longer.

Flow agent – Talcum powder is inert and platy. Its smooth and flat lamellae cover each particle helping it to flow freely during fertilizer or feed production. It improves handling and drying, speeding up the packaging process.

Protect against dust – Talc powder is inert, protecting the fertilizer against physical and chemical reactions which deteriorate granules, generating dust during prolonged storage.

★Animal Feed

Agro grade Talc powder is inert and hydrophobic in nature.

★Fruit Protection

Talc powder for agro is also used for protecting fruit crops (like Pears, Apples, Grapes etc) from UV rays and Sunburn. It reduces surface temperature and prevent moisture loss.

★Seed Coatings

Talc powder in agriculture is ideal for seed coatings due to its natural properties. It reduces abrasiveness and improve seed flow rate. It also reduces over seeding and premature germination of seeds thus increasing seed shelf life.

General parameters of Talc for agriculture：

We have different models of talc for agriculture. For more info about the products, please feel free to contact our technician representatives.

We can also supply according to customized quality demand.

Some precautions for using talcum powder：

Talc is the softest mineral in the world. 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 octahedra, sandwiched between two layers of silicon oxygen tetrahedra. The main or basal surfaces of this elementary sheet do not contain hydroxyl groups or active ions, which explains talc's hydrophobicity and inertness.

Although all talc ores are soft, platy, water repellent and chemically inert, no two talcs are quite the same. Futai talc products range from varied whiteness, particle size and purity. 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.

Using of right talc for the right industry enhances the end use product. Our talc products range from varied whiteness, particle size and purity. All our range of industrial talc's are asbestos free and are manufactured in whiteness range starting at 86% to 98% Whiteness and available in the mesh size of 325 to 3 microns. The talc is suitable for paints and coatings, rubber, wires and cables, polymers and plastics, ceramics, cosmetics and pharmaceutical Industry.
