Talc is a naturally occurring mineral valued for its softness, chemical inertness, and thermal resistance. HZM MARMI E PIETRE supplies raw talc in lump form, extracted and selected to meet strict industrial specifications.
The Parachinar quadrangle lies in the Federal Administrated Tribal Area FATA and occupies approx. 3.500 square miles along the western border of Pakistan.
The largest of the mining location has a capacity to produce approximately 240,000 tons per year.
The estimated explored reserve is 300 million tons from 115 potential mining locations with underground, as well as, open pit mining locations.
HZM MARMI E PIETRE operates and partners with talc mining sites in Pakistan selected for geological consistency, controlled extraction, and long-term resource availability. Mining activities follow defined safety, environmental, and quality procedures.
Through joint ventures and long-term collaborations, the Group maintains operational control over a network of independent mining operations, ensuring a stable, year-round supply of export-grade talc lumps.
HZM Marmi e Pietre holds mining concessions covering approximately 30,000 acres and operates dedicated warehousing facilities for talc sieving, hand sorting, and preparation for shipment to Karachi. The magnesite–carbonate origin of the ore supports the natural absence of asbestiform and amphibole mineral contamination.

Talc is widely used in many industries as a filler/extender and in other industrial applications due to its natural physical and chemical properties:
Used in a number of applications including colored make-up, personal care, soaps, derma-pediatric preparations & talcum powder.
In ceramics talc is used mostly as cheap filler in ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, dinnerware, porcelain and electrical insulating.
Pharmaceutical industry requires highly pure, specialized and bacteria free talc for tablets, Ointments and Dusting. The thermal & chemical inertness of talc makes it ideal filler.
Talc is also used as an anti-stick coating agent in a number of popular foods including chewing gum, boiled sweets, cured meats, and for rice polishing. In olive oil production, as a processing aid, it increases yield and improves the clarity of the oil.
They are used as titanium dioxide extenders, reduce cracking and sagging, and enhance matting. In anti-corrosion primers, Talc improves corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.
In paper industry talc is used in three stages of paper making – as filler, to control pitch and stickiness, and in paper coating. High brightness of talc leads to reduction in usage of expensive whitening agents and helps in controlling gloss of the coat.
Our talc products are preferred in soaps and washing powder application because of high chemical purity, controlled particle size distribution, high surface area with good oleo resinous properties. Low level of iron content in talc helps to overcome discoloration problem. Talc imparts better surface finish and thereby acts as a surfactant and binder for all other ingredients.
Talc is extensively used and reinforced with different type of Plastics to improve chemical and heat & flame resistance, dimensional stability, stiffness, tensile strength, creep resistance, electrical resistance and heat deflection temperature.
Talc is an hydrated magnesium silicate, belonging to the subclass of phyllosilicates. Its crystals are thin and lamellar forming, when massive, wide range of colours (i.e.: white, pink, green, grey or black). Talc can be found in various grades, different by purity, colour and lamellarity. Its main characteristics are: it’s naturally hydrophobic and lipophilic, it’s chemically inert, resisting very well to acids and bases; it’s the softest mineral; it’s a good electric and thermal insulator and it’s neither flammable nor explosive. Thanks to these characteristics, talc is a mineral of choice in many industrial uses.
The five main properties of talc that make it a unique substance for industrial and domestic applications are:
Composed of platelets that slide off each other.
Unctuous and non-abrasive, the softest mineral.
Resisting very well to acids and bases.
Naturally hydrophobic and lipophilic.
High brightness for various applications.

We are committed to providing the industry with sustainable, value-added talc-based solutions that help preserve the environment and reduce our customers’ carbon footprint.
In automotive plastics, high-aspect-ratio (HAR®) talcs offer the ideal balance of rigidity and impact strength, enabling manufacturers to produce thinner, lighter components—helping to reduce overall vehicle weight. Similarly, our micro-lamellar talcs enhance permeability in rubber, improving tire rolling resistance and boosting fuel efficiency.
