2. Crushing and Grinding Once the mica ore is extracted, it undergoes crushing and grinding to reduce the size of the particles. This step is crucial in preparing mica for further processing, allowing for the separation of mica from the surrounding minerals.

What are the uses of mica

For instance, mixing a pigment powder with a clear lip gloss creates a vibrant lip color, while blending it with a facial moisturizer can yield a subtle, glowing highlight. The potential for customizing products means that makeup lovers can cultivate a personal style that reflects their individuality.

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.

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.

2. Functional Properties Pigment powders also contribute to the physical properties of the resin. For instance, some pigments can offer UV resistance, adding longevity to outdoor applications. Others may improve thermal stability or reduce the flammability of the resin.

The versatility of mica powder is also one of its main draws in the cosmetic industry. It can be found in everything from mineral foundations to lipsticks and blushes. It blends seamlessly with other ingredients, providing a wide range of finish options—from matte to satin to high-shine. This adaptability makes mica powder indispensable for cosmetic formulations aimed at various skin tones and preferences.

Plastics: In the plastics industry, mica flakes are used as fillers to improve the mechanical properties of plastics. They increase the rigidity and durability of plastic products, making them more resistant to heat and chemicals.
