Notes

2022: Claimed to be a substitute for Texas talc. However its chemistry is quite different. It only has ~2% less MgO but the CaO is 3.5 (vs 0.3), Al2O3 is 7.6 (vs 0.5) and SiO2 is 49.4 (vs 53.5). But the biggest difference is the amount of Fe2O3, 1.6% vs <0.5.

If you are using this as a substitute for Texas talc in slip casting bodies it will likely be necessary to adjust the amount of deflocculant and water. You will likely have to read up on deflocculation and be willing to measure specific gravity and make test batches to fine tune a workable recipe. If ware does not have the plastic strength formerly, consider upping the percentage or ball clay (at the cost of non-talc ingredients) or using a more plastic (finer particled) ball clay.
