I know baby powder is very combustible/flammable but is talcum powder?Is talcum powder combustible?
Yes %26amp; the fumes can be highly toxic depending on the amount of Aluminium Is talcum powder combustible?
Modern baby powder is corn starch. True talcum powder (talc = Magnesium Silicate Hydroxide) is an inorganic mineral and I would think it highly unlikely that it would support combustion even puffed in the air.

The MSDS http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Talc-992鈥?/a> declares it non-flammable
Not when its in a pile but when thrown onto a open flame YES, YES IT IS.
