Within the clay minerals, the phyllosilicate belongs to the smectite group. The mineral is a platelet-shaped to acicular mass with the alternative name steatite. The monoclinic crystal structure is rare. Talc is a very soft mineral and defines a hardness of 1. Talc feels soapy or greasy. It has an average density of 2.75 kg/dm3 and is translucent. The color is from white to gray or green, due to iron contamination. Talc is used as a filler in paper, paint, rubber, plastic and ceramics. It is also used as a powder in cosmetics, food and medicines. The E number of talc is E553b. Talc behaves hydrophobically, it needs a high proportion of binder. It ensures a good connection between paint and the material to be painted. Talc is also sold under the names soapstone and soapstone and is used by sculptors to carve figurines. Due to its low hardness, talc lends itself well to this. Soapstone is also used as a heater casing, because of its ability to store a lot of heat and to release it very slowly back to the environment over a longer period of time. Soapstone is a mineral from the talc group called saponite. The word saponite is derived from the Latin word for soap. Steatite is also used in the so-called "dry" resistance heating elements of electric storage hot water heaters.
