Huajing mica cosmetic grade mica powder has been loved by customers since it entered the market, and has a general response, excellent quality, stable quality and high reputation.

Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:

Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder also have great differences in electrical insulation, mechanical properties, chemical stability, application range and cost. Natural mica powder has good electrical insulation, but the volume resistivity is lower than that of synthetic mica. Synthetic mica powder has better electrical insulation properties, high volume resistivity and stable dielectric constant, and is suitable for high performance electrical insulation materials. The hardness of natural mica powder is relatively low (2-3), and it has good elasticity and peeling property. The hardness of synthetic mica powder is higher (between 3 and 4), and the tensile strength and compressive strength are better than that of natural mica powder. Natural mica powder is stable in acid-base solution, but it is easy to decompose at high temperature. Synthetic mica powder is stable to acid and base at room temperature, but will be slowly corroded by sulfuric acid above 300℃. Better thermal stability, not easy to release gas. Natural mica powder is widely used in electrical appliances, welding rods, rubber, plastics, paper making, paint and other fields. Synthetic mica powder is mainly used in high-end electrical insulation materials, aviation, aerospace, national defense industry and other high-tech fields. Because synthetic mica powder needs to be produced through complex chemical processes, its production cost is usually higher than that of natural mica powder. Therefore, in the market, the price of synthetic mica powder is often higher than that of natural mica powder. However, with the continuous progress of production technology and the gradual emergence of scale effects, the price of synthetic mica powder is expected to gradually decrease.

Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder have differences in production methods, heat resistance and color transparency. As the name suggests, natural mica powder is made from natural mica ore after processing, retaining the original characteristics and composition of the ore. Its main components are SiO2 (about 49%) and Al2O3 (about 30%), while also containing K2O+Na2O (9%-11%) and so on. The synthetic mica powder (such as fluoroglogopicite powder), is the use of a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods synthetic, its composition and characteristics can be adjusted and optimized according to the need, the chemical formula is KMg3(AlSi3O10)F2, belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, is a typical layered silicate, relatively single and pure composition. The heat resistance of natural mica powder is generally 500-600℃, and some types, such as phlogopite, can reach 800℃. The heat resistance of synthetic mica powder is more excellent, and it can withstand high temperatures above 1200℃, and the melting point or crystallization temperature is about 1375±5. The transparency of natural mica powder is relatively low, and the color is diverse, including black, yellow, white, gray, green, brown and other colors, and may vary due to different ore types and processing methods. The color of synthetic mica powder is relatively single, usually colorless transparent or white, high whiteness, good optical performance, and high transmittance from ultraviolet to infrared band.

One of the beauty of creating your own formulations is the freedom to experiment with different combinations. Mixing various alternatives can help you achieve the desired effect without relying solely on mica powder. For instance, combining kaolin clay with synthetic fluorphlogopite can create a product that has both the absorbent properties of clay and the shimmer of synthetic mica.

Biotite, often referred to as black mica, is another well-known type of mica. Unlike muscovite, biotite is rich in iron and magnesium, giving it a dark, opaque appearance. This mineral is primarily used in the construction industry, particularly in producing roofing materials and as a filler in asphalt. Biotite's unique properties give it good thermal stability and resistance to chemical weathering, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications. Additionally, biotite serves as an essential source of potassium in soil, benefiting agricultural practices.

The mica industry is undergoing profound changes. With the help of emerging industries, the mica industry will be a large market of more than 10 billion.

Wholesale Opportunities for Entrepreneurs

Businesses involved in the mica wholesale market need to prioritize transparency, sustainability, and the welfare of workers. By working closely with ethical suppliers and providing education to end-users about the importance of responsibly sourced mica, companies can build a reputation that resonates with today’s values-driven consumers.

Furthermore, as global awareness of ethical sourcing increases, Chinese mica producers are likely to face greater scrutiny regarding their supply chains. Companies that prioritize responsible sourcing practices may find themselves at a competitive advantage in both domestic and international markets.

2. Avoid Harmful Additives Look for products that are free from parabens, sulfates, and other harmful chemicals. This can help reduce any potential irritation.
