In papermaking, talc enhances surface quality, printability, and opacity. It reduces friction between paper sheets and machinery, preventing breaks and improving production efficiency. Talc also acts as a filler to improve smoothness and brightness, essential for high-quality printing and writing papers. Furthermore, talc controls pitch and stickies—resinous substances that can cause equipment fouling. By improving paper properties and production reliability, talc plays a vital role in modern paper manufacturing.
