The greatest amount of talc powder is used in paint and coating industry. Haicheng talc powder is used as filler and color pigment, and fibrous talc as suspension.

Because talc powder has strong adsorbability and is easily highly dispersed in oil, it can prevent the precipitation of paint and can be used as suspension agent. Talc powder can also regulate gloss. Because talc has stable chemical properties and strong covering power, it can prevent the aging and cracking of paint coatings and improve the anti-weathering ability.

Paint-grade talc powder should be used for latex paint, polyester paint, varnish, automotive putty, road marking paint, ship paint and other products as the most important filler. Paint-grade talc powder is mainly used for building coatings, interior and exterior wall coatings, industrial coatings, anticorrosive coatings, fire retardant coatings, pigments and other products, playing a filling role.
