Talcum
Talcum is a mineral, slightly greasy natural product. It is used in powder form as a release agent or lubricant. Mixtures with mica are also in use. To prevent the hot-applied sheath material from sticking to the core insulation when sheathing a core cable, the cable is first dusted with talcum powder. In addition to the separating effect, the friction between the individual cable elements is also greatly reduced, thereby improving flexibility and strippability. (All information without guarantee)
