Synthetic 120 mesh :large particle size, with pearl shining effect.

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.

In the automotive industry, synthetic mica is employed in the production of lightweight composites and coatings, contributing to the development of fuel-efficient vehicles. It is also used in the cosmetics industry as a pigment and thickening agent, giving products a shimmering effect while providing a smooth application.

Incorporating natural mica powder for cosmetics into your product line not only meets customer demand for purity and sustainability but also enhances the overall quality of your formulations. Whether you’re creating high-end luxury items or everyday beauty products, the use of natural mica powder for cosmetics can help set your brand apart, offering a natural solution that consumers can feel good about using.

Looking ahead, the future of mica in China holds promise but is not without challenges. The increasing demand for sustainable products will likely drive innovation in mining technologies and practices. Companies may seek alternatives to traditional mica sourcing, exploring synthetic options or recycling as viable alternatives. Moreover, as regulatory standards tighten globally, the mica industry in China must adapt to ensure compliance while maintaining its competitive edge.

- Plastics and Textiles Mica-based pigments are often incorporated into plastics and textiles to impart color and sheen. In plastics, they can improve the aesthetic appeal of consumer products, while in textiles, they can create eye-catching finishes on fabrics.

If any abnormal situation is found, such as packaging damage, leakage, discoloration, etc., immediate measures should be taken to handle it and relevant departments and personnel should be notified.
