Another advantage of mica in automobile paint is its contribution to eco-friendliness. Many modern automotive coatings are being formulated to be more sustainable and reduce environmental impact. Mica is a natural material and, when mined responsibly, can offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to synthetic pigments. Moreover, the durability provided by mica reduces the need for frequent repainting, which can also contribute to lower VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions over the life of the vehicle.

Later, with the development of science and technology, people gradually realized that mica minerals have high insulation, high temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and mica also began to enter building materials, fire, plastics, paper, rubber, pearlite pigments and other industries. These are mainly Muscovite and phlogopite.

The application of pearl pigment powder in automotive paint is not just limited to luxury vehicles; it has become increasingly popular across various segments, from high-end sports cars to everyday sedans. The process typically involves mixing the powder with a suitable binder and solvent, before applying it through traditional spray techniques.
