Pharma Grade Product

Talc Powder
Pharma Grade

Ultra-fine, high-purity sterilised talc engineered for pharmaceutical formulations. Meets IP/USP/BP standards for tablet compression, capsule filling, and topical applications.

Ultra-Fine High-Purity Talc for Pharmaceuticals

A.N. Enterprises pharma-grade sterilised talc is a naturally occurring hydrated magnesium silicate, meticulously processed to meet the stringent requirements of the global pharmaceutical industry. With over three decades of experience, we deliver talc that performs consistently across tablet, capsule, and topical formulations.

Our talc undergoes multi-stage beneficiation and micronization to achieve the ultra-fine particle size, high brightness, and low moisture content that pharmaceutical manufacturers demand. Every batch is tested against IP, USP, and BP monograph specifications before release.

From reducing die-wall friction in high-speed tablet presses to providing smooth skin-feel in dusting powders, our pharma-grade talc is a versatile excipient trusted by formulators worldwide.

Detailed Specifications

Every parameter is controlled and documented to ensure pharmacopoeia compliance and batch-to-batch consistency.

Silicon Dioxide
>58% SiO₂
High silica content ensures the characteristic lamellar structure that provides lubrication and glidant properties in tablet formulations.
Magnesium Oxide
>28% MgO
Magnesium oxide content confirms mineralogical purity and the hydrated magnesium silicate composition required by pharmacopoeia standards.
Loss on Ignition
<6% LOI
Controlled loss on ignition indicates minimal volatile impurities and ensures stability during storage and use in pharmaceutical formulations.
Heavy Metals
Below Limits
Arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals are maintained well below pharmacopoeia limits, verified by ICP-OES analysis for every batch.
pH Value
8.0 – 9.5
Mildly alkaline pH range is characteristic of high-purity talc and compatible with a wide range of pharmaceutical excipients and active ingredients.
Specific Gravity
2.7 g/cm³
Consistent specific gravity confirms mineralogical identity and aids formulators in calculating precise batch volumes and fill weights.

Pharmaceutical Applications

Pharma-grade talc serves critical functions across multiple pharmaceutical dosage forms and manufacturing processes.

01

Tablet Lubricant

The primary application of pharma-grade talc is as a tablet lubricant. Its lamellar crystal structure reduces die-wall friction during the compression cycle, preventing sticking, picking, and capping defects. Talc enables high-speed tablet production while maintaining consistent hardness, weight uniformity, and disintegration profiles across millions of tablets per batch.

02

Capsule Diluent

For low-dose active pharmaceutical ingredients, talc serves as an effective capsule diluent and bulking agent. It provides the necessary volume to fill capsule shells while maintaining excellent powder flow from hoppers into dosating mechanisms. Its inert nature ensures no interaction with sensitive APIs, preserving drug stability and bioavailability.

03

Nutraceutical Filler

In vitamin tablets, herbal supplements, and nutraceutical formulations, talc functions as a reliable filler and flow aid. Its GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status and pharmacopoeia compliance make it ideal for dietary supplement manufacturing where both safety and performance are essential.

04

Dusting Powder

Ultra-fine talc forms the base of pharmaceutical and medicated dusting powders. Its natural softness, moisture absorption capacity, and exceptional skin-slip provide a soothing sensory experience. In medicated formulations, talc serves as both the functional carrier and the primary powder base for antifungal and antiseptic active ingredients.

05

Veterinary Formulations

Pharma-grade talc extends into veterinary medicine as a key excipient in animal health products. From bolus formulations and veterinary powders to feed supplement tablets, our talc provides the same consistency, purity, and performance that human pharmaceutical manufacturers require, adapted for veterinary dosage forms.

Quality & Certifications

Rigorous quality control at every stage ensures our pharma-grade talc meets the highest global standards.

Documentation
