The Importance of Pigment Powder in Resin

In terms of industrial applications, mica is used extensively in cosmetics, paints, and coatings. Its ability to reflect light and provide a shimmering effect makes it a popular ingredient in makeup products, such as eyeshadows and highlighters. In paints, mica enhances the durability and provides a glossy finish, which is highly desired in both residential and commercial buildings. The automotive and aerospace industries also utilize mica in heat-resistant components and insulations.

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 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.
