Super Grade Mica Powder, 99.999%

Super Grade Mica Powder

Mica has an acid, alkali, chemical stability, heat resistance, non-flammable, good insulation. The main purpose: it is used in the field of construction materials, on behalf of asbestos products and also for extinguishing agents, welding, plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, chemicals, electronic products, oil well drilling, pearlescent pigments and other areas of work. For example: add moist ultrafine mica, protect ultraviolet light, improve coating wear resistance, delay staining, discolor; a two-dimensional sheet metal structure with a high aspect ratio, improves the general mechanical properties of the coating, water resistance, anti-crack, improves tolerance and self-cleaning; Acid, alkali, high temperature, improves thermal coating and corrosion resistance.
The laminar silicate (phyllosilicate) mineral mica group includes several closely related materials that have an almost perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic, with a tendency to pseudohexagonal crystals and are similar in their chemical composition. The near-perfect division, which is the most prominent feature of mica, is explained by the hexagonal arrangement of its atoms.

Applications

Paints and Coatings

Pigment and Filler in Paints:
Super Grade Mica Powder is widely used in the paint industry due to its high reflectivity and ability to impart a shiny, pearlescent effect. It is often added to automotive paints, decorative coatings, and architectural paints for improved aesthetics and durability.

Anti-Corrosion and Protective Coatings:
Mica is used as an additive in protective coatings to enhance the durability and abrasion resistance of surfaces. It is particularly effective in coatings designed to resist corrosion in marine environments or in high-temperature settings like boilers and furnaces.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

Shimmering and Glitter Effects:
Super Grade Mica Powder is commonly used in cosmetics for its ability to create a shimmering, glittery effect. It is found in products such as eyeshadow, highlighter, blush, nail polish, and lip gloss.

Skin Care and Hair Care:
Mica is also used in certain skin care products due to its light-diffusing properties, giving a soft, radiant finish to the skin. It can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and body lotions to provide a glowing appearance.

Powders and Foundations:
In cosmetics, mica is used as a bulking agent in face powders, foundations, and loose powders to enhance the product’s texture, provide smooth application, and give a matte or radiant finish depending on the formulation.

Electrical and Electronics Industry

Insulating Materials:
Due to its high dielectric strength and resistance to high temperatures, Super Grade Mica Powder is widely used in insulating materials for the electrical and electronics industries. It is used in the production of capacitors, insulation sheets, and wires.

Electronics and Electrical Components:
Mica powder is also used in the manufacture of microwave capacitors, transformer insulation, and gaskets for electrical and electronic components due to its thermal stability and non-conductivity.
