Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder have differences in production methods, heat resistance and color transparency. As the name suggests, natural mica powder is made from natural mica ore after processing, retaining the original characteristics and composition of the ore. Its main components are SiO2 (about 49%) and Al2O3 (about 30%), while also containing K2O+Na2O (9%-11%) and so on. The synthetic mica powder (such as fluoroglogopicite powder), is the use of a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods synthetic, its composition and characteristics can be adjusted and optimized according to the need, the chemical formula is KMg3(AlSi3O10)F2, belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, is a typical layered silicate, relatively single and pure composition. The heat resistance of natural mica powder is generally 500-600℃, and some types, such as phlogopite, can reach 800℃. The heat resistance of synthetic mica powder is more excellent, and it can withstand high temperatures above 1200℃, and the melting point or crystallization temperature is about 1375±5. The transparency of natural mica powder is relatively low, and the color is diverse, including black, yellow, white, gray, green, brown and other colors, and may vary due to different ore types and processing methods. The color of synthetic mica powder is relatively single, usually colorless transparent or white, high whiteness, good optical performance, and high transmittance from ultraviolet to infrared band.

Mica pigments have emerged as a popular choice in various industries, thanks to their unique ability to add vibrant colors and stunning effects to products. Derived from naturally occurring mica minerals, these pigments are not only aesthetically pleasing but also versatile, making them valuable in cosmetics, art, automotive, and even construction. This article delves into the fascinating world of mica pigments, exploring their properties, applications, and benefits.

Huajing mica cosmetic grade mica powder has been loved by customers since it entered the market, and has a general response, excellent quality, stable quality and high reputation.

Sustainability is another aspect to consider. As the popularity of edible mica powder grows, so does the need for sustainable sourcing and production practices. Many manufacturers are now focused on extracting mica responsibly and ensuring that their products are created with minimal impact on the environment. This conscious approach resonates with consumers who are becoming increasingly aware of the origins of their food items and the importance of sustainability in the food supply chain.
