1. Surface Type Different surfaces require specific formulations. Make sure to choose a product that is compatible with the material you plan to paint.

What are the uses of mica

Applications of Pigment Powder in Resins

It is an indispensable and important raw material in the fields of electric heating equipment, wire and cable, aerospace and so on.

In 2022, Lingshou Huajing Mica Co., Ltd. launched cosmetic grade mica powder. The flake structure of mica powder can lock the water on the surface of the skin, forming a protective film to effectively prevent water loss. Its unique gloss and reflection effect add natural and charming luster to the skin, and mica powder also has a certain sunscreen effect. To a certain extent, it can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays on the skin, protect the skin from the external environment, and prevent sunburn.

2. Product Range A supplier that offers a wide range of mica products can be beneficial for companies looking for specific colors, sizes, or types of mica powder. This versatility can streamline the procurement process.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, mica glitter is straightforward to incorporate into candle making. It can be blended directly into melted wax before pouring it into molds or containers. The process is simple just add the desired amount of mica glitter, stir well to ensure even distribution, and proceed with pouring. Depending on the desired intensity of the glitter effect, candle makers can experiment with different amounts to achieve their preferred look.

Natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder also have great differences in electrical insulation, mechanical properties, chemical stability, application range and cost. Natural mica powder has good electrical insulation, but the volume resistivity is lower than that of synthetic mica. Synthetic mica powder has better electrical insulation properties, high volume resistivity and stable dielectric constant, and is suitable for high performance electrical insulation materials. The hardness of natural mica powder is relatively low (2-3), and it has good elasticity and peeling property. The hardness of synthetic mica powder is higher (between 3 and 4), and the tensile strength and compressive strength are better than that of natural mica powder. Natural mica powder is stable in acid-base solution, but it is easy to decompose at high temperature. Synthetic mica powder is stable to acid and base at room temperature, but will be slowly corroded by sulfuric acid above 300℃. Better thermal stability, not easy to release gas. Natural mica powder is widely used in electrical appliances, welding rods, rubber, plastics, paper making, paint and other fields. Synthetic mica powder is mainly used in high-end electrical insulation materials, aviation, aerospace, national defense industry and other high-tech fields. Because synthetic mica powder needs to be produced through complex chemical processes, its production cost is usually higher than that of natural mica powder. Therefore, in the market, the price of synthetic mica powder is often higher than that of natural mica powder. However, with the continuous progress of production technology and the gradual emergence of scale effects, the price of synthetic mica powder is expected to gradually decrease.

Natural high quality Muscovite:feel fine, soft lubrication.

Mica is a versatile mineral coveted across industries for its remarkable properties, including high thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and chemical stability. Sourcing quality mica is essential for manufacturers aiming to uphold product excellence, making the choice of suppliers a critical component of the supply chain.
