He maha ngā wā ka whakamahia te paura talc hei whakakī i ngā hua kirihou me te pepa, hei whakakī rapa me te mea ārai piri o ngā hua rapa, hei peita kounga teitei, me ētahi atu.

He tino pai ngā āhuatanga ā-tinana, ā-matū hoki o te pāreti pērā i te whakahinuhinu, te ārai piri, te āwhina rere, te ātete ahi, te ātete waikawa, te ārai wera, te teitei o te ira rewa, ngā āhuatanga matū kore mahi, te kaha hipoki pai, te ngawari, te kanapa pai, me te kaha mimiti. Nā tōna hanganga karaihe paparua, he ngāwari te wehewehe o te pāreti ki ngā unahi me te whakahinuhinu motuhake. Ki te nui te ihirangi o te Fe2O3, ka whakaitihia tōna ārai wera.
