2. Mix the Epoxy Resin Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing your epoxy resin. Typically, this involves combining a resin and hardener in a specific ratio. Mix thoroughly to ensure a homogeneous mixture.

A group of parallel cleavages can be seen in a photograph of biomica under orthogonal polarized (left) and single polarized (right) mirrors.

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.

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.

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

Mica is a new non-metallic crystal material, a national key new material, with heat insulation, insulation, high temperature resistance characteristics, is an important material in aerospace, rail transit, nuclear power, wind power, aircraft carriers and other high-tech fields, but also electrical equipment, wire and cable, household appliances indispensable insulation material, in the national economy and national defense construction plays an important role.

One of the most appealing aspects of edible mica powder is its versatility. It can be used in a wide range of culinary applications, from decorating cakes and cookies to enhancing chocolates, candies, and even beverages. The powder comes in various colors, including gold, silver, and a spectrum of vibrant hues, allowing chefs to experiment and incorporate it into their creations creatively.

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.
