Talc Powder Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Hydrated Magnesium Silicate
Talc powder supplier for plastics, paint, rubber, ceramics, paper, personal-care raw material and pharmaceutical formulators in Malaysia. Also known as hydrated magnesium silicate, talc is a soft, platy white mineral powder selected as a filler, extender, lubricant and processing aid rather than as a finished body or baby powder blend.
Commercial grades include industrial talc powder, micronised talc, high-whiteness material and pharmaceutical grade powder. Industrial and micronised grades support polymer, coating and rubber work; high-whiteness grades are chosen where colour contribution must stay low; pharmaceutical grades serve tablet lubricant and related excipient duties when that specification is required.
Keep talc separate from kaolin, dolomite and magnesium carbonate when specifying a mineral filler. Particle size or mesh, whiteness and oil absorption drive grade selection more than a single generic powder label, so name the form and application clearly in the enquiry.
Send the required grade, application, target particle size or mesh, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Talc grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial talc powder | fine white to off-white powder | — | Plastics, rubber, paint, ceramics and general filler or extender work where particle size, whiteness and oil absorption are the main selection points. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Micronised talc powder | fine, controlled particle-size powder | — | Coatings, polymer compounds and other formulations that need a finer mesh or tighter particle-size distribution than standard industrial powder. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-whiteness talc | selected white powder | — | Paint, paper, plastics and personal-care raw-material use where colour contribution must stay low and brightness is part of the grade choice. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical grade talc | high-purity fine powder | — | Tablet lubricant, glidant and selected excipient duties where a pharmaceutical or pharmacopoeia-linked grade is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Talc applications
Safety and handling
Store dry and sealed, off the floor. Protect from moisture so the powder stays free-flowing. Control dust during handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about talc
Is talc the same as finished talcum or baby powder?
No. This page covers raw talc mineral powder for industrial and formulation use. Finished perfumed body powder or baby powder is a separate retail product. State the industrial or formulation grade you need so the quotation stays on the raw-material requirement.
How does talc differ from kaolin, dolomite or magnesium carbonate?
Talc is a hydrated magnesium silicate mineral with a soft, platy structure. Kaolin is a hydrated aluminium silicate clay, while dolomite and magnesium carbonate are carbonate minerals. They are not interchangeable grades of the same product; name the mineral and application when enquiring.
Which talc grade should I request for plastics, paint or tablets?
Plastics and rubber often start from industrial or micronised powder with a stated mesh or particle size. Paint and high-brightness systems may need high-whiteness or finer material. Tablet and related pharmaceutical use usually specify a pharmaceutical grade and documentation set. Describe the process and performance target so the grade can be matched more closely.
What is micronised talc powder used for?
Micronised talc is selected when a finer, more controlled particle-size distribution is needed than standard industrial powder, for example in coatings, polymer compounds and other formulations sensitive to mesh and surface finish.
What specifications should a buyer provide for talc powder?
State the intended application and any required limits for particle size or mesh, whiteness or brightness, moisture, residue on sieve and oil absorption. For a formulation already in production, include the current specification or a representative sample requirement.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a talc powder price enquiry?
Provide the grade or form, application, target particle size or mesh, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack format, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
