Soft Stone Powder (CAS 4807-96-61) is a naturally occurring hydrous magnesium silicate, predominantly high-purity talc, processed into an ultra-fine white powder that acts as a soft, lubricious anti-caking agent and functional filler for plastics, rubber, cosmetics and paper. It is characterized by its exceptional softness and lubricity, making it an ideal anti-caking agent and functional filler.
The product offers excellent chemical inertness and high thermal stability, which are critical for its use in reinforcing plastic and rubber compounds. Its lamellar (plate-like) structure improves the mechanical strength and dimensional stability of molded industrial parts.
In the cosmetic and personal care sectors, it is valued for its absorbent properties and silky texture, serving as a primary base for body powders and makeup. Its ability to reduce friction and improve the "slip" of topical formulations ensures a high-quality user experience.
