MICA Sheets, Flakes for Industrial Process / Manufacturing
Mica is one of most sought-after mineral and raw material of insulation and process industries. It is a group of silicate minerals characterized by their perfect basal cleavage, allowing them to be easily split into thin, flexible sheets. This layered structure, combined with its thermal and electrical insulation properties, makes highly invaluable. Mica, a naturally occurring mineral with its captivating sheen and unique properties, plays a pivotal role in numerous industries.
We offer following varieties / type:
- Muscovite (White texture): The most common variety, known for its transparency and excellent electrical insulation. Widely used in electronics, paints, and cosmetics.
- Phlogopite (Amber variant): Characterized by its amber to brown color and superior heat resistance. Ideal for high-temperature applications.
- Biotite (Black tint): Rich in iron and magnesium, less electrically insulating than muscovite, but still used in some applications.
- Lepidolite (Lithium content): source of lithium, also used in glass and ceramics.
Available forms:
- Sheet Forms: Sheet size range from 12 inches to 1 -2 meters. Electrical insulation, capacitors, window material in high-temperature applications uses mica sheets.
- Flakes: Flakes size range from 0.5 inches to 12 inches. Paints, coatings, and plastics & petrochemicals uses flakes for their reflective and reinforcing properties.
- Mesh Form / Powder (Grounded form): Widely used in cosmetics, joint compounds, drilling muds, and as a filler in various industries.
Industrial Use / Application of MICA:
- Electronics: Due to its excellent electrical insulation properties make it essential in capacitors, insulators, and other electronic components.
- Construction: Joint compounds, roofing materials, drilling muds, ramming mass use powder form.
- Paints and Coatings: Mica flakes add luster, durability, and weather resistance to paints and coatings.
- Cosmetics: Mica powder is used as a pigment and filler in cosmetics, providing a shimmering effect.
- Automotive: Mica is used in automotive paints, plastics, and brake linings.
- Refractory: High temperature applications like furnace, boiler, kiln use phlogopite mica for temperature insulation.
- Plastics: Polymer and plastic industries use mica as reinforcing agent in plastics to improve strength and stiffness.
