Mica powder glitter, organic mica powder for cosmetics, and cosmetic mica powder are revolutionizing the beauty, crafting, and cosmetics industries. These products provide a wide range of benefits, from enhancing the aesthetic appeal of makeup to adding shimmering effects to various creative projects. With the growing demand for natural and sustainable products, mica powder continues to play a vital role in both the beauty world and beyond, offering endless possibilities for creating stunning, eco-friendly creations.
Synthetic matte 2000 mesh:fine skin, matte effect.
Natural high quality Muscovite:feel fine, soft lubrication.
Take pearlescent pigments as an example, pearlescent pigments are a class of pigments with pearl luster, which are deposited on the substrate (generally natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheet and other sheet-like materials) above a layer or alternately deposited multiple layers of metal oxides or non-metallic oxides and formed a flat sandwich body with a structure similar to sandwich. Due to the difference in refractive index between the substrate and the oxide deposited on its surface and each oxide, when the light shines on the surface of the pearlescent pigment, the incident light will be refracted and reflected at the interface of each layer of the pearlescent pigment, and the color of the pearlescent pigment that people see is the result of the superposition of light after multiple refractions and reflections of the light, that is, the interference phenomenon of light.

The common characteristics of mica group minerals are: layered silicate minerals, monoclinic crystal system, a few trigonal crystal system, the crystals are pseudo-hexagonal columnar, plate and sheet; The aggregate is scaly and foliaceous. It has a set of extremely complete cleavage, along which it is easy to peel into sheets. Therefore, the shape of mica is usually regarded as sheet.
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.
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.
A group of parallel cleavages can be seen in a photograph of biomica under orthogonal polarized (left) and single polarized (right) mirrors.
In addition to the main types mentioned above, there are several other less common varieties of mica, including zinnwaldite, which contains iron, lithium, and potassium and is primarily found in granite pegmatites. Each type of mica, despite its rarity, has its own niche applications, often influenced by its specific mineral composition and properties.
Mica powder, known as industrial monosodium glutamate, is widely used. With the continuous development of technology and application market, and some new requirements have been put forward for the quality of mica powder, so synthetic mica powder has been developed. Compared with the natural mica powder processed by natural mica ore, and the synthetic mica powder synthesized by using a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods. What are the advantages and differences between them?
3. Construction Materials Due to its fire-resistant properties, non-metallic mica powder is utilized in construction materials, including drywall, roofing shingles, and fireproof coatings. This usage not only enhances the safety of buildings but also improves the overall quality of construction products.

Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:
For example, the safe operation of high-speed rail cannot be separated from the escort of mica products.
