Versatility in Application

The mica industry is undergoing profound changes. With the help of emerging industries, the mica industry will be a large market of more than 10 billion.

The global demand for cosmetic mica is not uniform, as different regions experience varying levels of consumption based on local beauty trends and preferences. The largest market for cosmetic mica is North America, particularly the United States, where the beauty industry continues to thrive and evolve. As consumers increasingly seek high-performance, luxury beauty products, the demand for mica-based cosmetics is expected to continue growing.

X represents large interlayer cations, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Rb+, Cs+, etc. Y represents octahedral cations, such as Al3+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+, etc. Z is mainly Si4+ and Al3+; The ideal ratio of the additional anion (OH)- to (O)2- is 2:10, and (OH)- can be replaced by F- and Cl-. Most mica contain 4% to 5% water. Therefore, although they may be called mica, the chemical composition of different mica may be very different, for the purpose of research, we collectively refer to the minerals with this type of characteristics as mica group minerals.  

3. Flotation and Screening The crushed material is then subjected to a flotation process, where chemicals are added to separate mica from impurities. Screening follows, enabling the further refinement of mica by sorting it into different grades based on size and quality.

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