What is the white powder inside computer IEC power cords?
Cliff Matthews:
I'm soldering-up a variety of heavy-duty gator-clip to banana jack cables using older computer cords. Is this stuff just talc inside? Quite naturally I'm curious, since lately there is talk of Johnson&Johnson's talc containing asbestos.. :-//
IanB:
I think it's talc. I don't see how there could be asbestos present given its reputation.

IMO it's BS to sue J&J for money. First they tried to prove in court that talc causes cancer. When that fell through, they started speculating it was contaminated with asbestos. No hard evidence for presence of asbestos was ever provided.
Benta:
It's talc. Why on earth would someone put asbestos in talc? It would defeat the purpose of reducing friction. Did you get this from a Trump tweet?

Where are you hiding? At least on this side of the pond, a few people want to split 4.7 billion in claims.
