What Are Mica Pigments?

Mica has a wide range of uses, in ancient China, it is often used to do traditional Chinese medicine, the ancients even think that taking mica: a year to remove all diseases (heavy metal poisoning), three years of long service, husband into a boy (body scrap), Zhongshan uncle Qing suit, over time can become a cloud (soul ascension). However, in the era without glass, the transparency of mica makes it a better decorative material, for example, we are familiar with the mica screen candle shadow deep, the river gradually falling Xiaoxing sink. Mica screen is low, tassel tent is small and mica calf car.

Mica pigment paint represents a harmonious blend of nature and artistry. Its radiant qualities allow artists and crafters to push creative boundaries and explore new aesthetics. With its rich history and versatile applications, mica pigment is not just a material, but a tool for expression. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, incorporating mica pigments into your projects can truly transform your work, adding depth, shimmer, and a unique touch that captivates the eye. Explore the world of mica pigments, and let your creativity shine!

The mica variety that does not contain iron is colorless in flakes, and the higher the iron content, the darker the color, and the more polychromatic and absorbable it is. According to the different chemical composition and optical characteristics, mica group minerals can be divided into Muscovite subgroup, biotite-phlogopite subgroup and lemica subgroup. The common mica are biotite, phlogopite, Muscovite and so on.

The Global Market for Mica Powder

The mica powder of HUAJING has the advantage of extremely narrow particle size, and the particle size specifications are complete, such as: 2000 mesh, 1250 mesh, 800 mesh, 400 mesh, 120 mesh, etc. The skin feeling is exquisite.

X represents large interlayer cations, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Rb+, Cs+, etc. Y represents octahedral cations, such as Al3+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+, etc. Z is mainly Si4+ and Al3+; The ideal ratio of the additional anion (OH)- to (O)2- is 2:10, and (OH)- can be replaced by F- and Cl-. Most mica contain 4% to 5% water. Therefore, although they may be called mica, the chemical composition of different mica may be very different, for the purpose of research, we collectively refer to the minerals with this type of characteristics as mica group minerals.  

The versatility of mica extends to the construction industry as well. Mica is often used as a filler in various construction materials, such as paints, coatings, and ceramics. Its ability to enhance durability and improve the aesthetic qualities of these materials makes it an attractive option for manufacturers. In paints, mica can increase the opacity and brightness, while in ceramics, it helps in reducing shrinkage and improving strength. Thus, mica plays a vital role in ensuring that construction materials meet modern standards for quality and longevity.
