The common characteristics of mica group minerals are: layered silicate minerals, monoclinic crystal system, a few trigonal crystal system, the crystals are pseudo-hexagonal columnar, plate and sheet; The aggregate is scaly and foliaceous. It has a set of extremely complete cleavage, along which it is easy to peel into sheets. Therefore, the shape of mica is usually regarded as sheet.

For example, the safe operation of high-speed rail cannot be separated from the escort of mica products.

2. Ease of Use Unlike some other pigment types, mica powder is easy to incorporate into epoxy resin. It can be mixed in effortlessly, allowing even beginners to achieve professional-looking results.

The rapid development of new energy vehicles, batteries and other emerging industries also provides a new application scenario for mica products, such as power battery modules and energy storage system of mica cover plate, mica partition, mica monitoring board and composite mica tape and other products, the application of mica provides the industry with a fire safety solution.

Mica is a group of silicate minerals characterized by their layered or platy form, which allows them to be easily split into thin sheets. These materials have been used for various applications due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as high thermal and electrical resistance, dielectric strength, and inertness. Mica is found in several forms, each with distinct characteristics and applications. In this article, we will explore the different types of mica and their uses.

2. Enhanced Depth and Dimension When added to epoxy, metallic mica powder creates a three-dimensional illusion. The way light interacts with these particles gives depth to the resin, making it more dynamic and visually appealing. This characteristic is particularly valuable for projects like river tables and countertops, where a striking surface is desired.

In 2022, Lingshou Huajing Mica Co., Ltd. launched cosmetic grade mica powder. The flake structure of mica powder can lock the water on the surface of the skin, forming a protective film to effectively prevent water loss. Its unique gloss and reflection effect add natural and charming luster to the skin, and mica powder also has a certain sunscreen effect. To a certain extent, it can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays on the skin, protect the skin from the external environment, and prevent sunburn.

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

X { Y2-3 [Z4O10] (OH)2 }
