Hence talc powder acts as a glidant and covers the surface irregularities of the other substances, thereby reducing their inter particular friction. The resulting improvement in powder flows is appropriate dispersion of fertilizers.
  • Another way in which talc powder is used in the agricultural industry is that it has been used as a solid lubricant due to its low shear strength.
