Extraction

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.

Huajing mica cosmetic grade mica powder has been loved by customers since it entered the market, and has a general response, excellent quality, stable quality and high reputation.

A supplier’s authoritativeness is often demonstrated by recognized certifications and affiliations with established industry associations. These endorsements not only vouch for a supplier’s credibility but also indicate compliance with international quality and safety standards. Certifications from organizations such as ISO or regulatory bodies pertinent to your industry can serve as a testament to a supplier’s adherence to best practices in production and supply chain management.

Mica is a mineral that has gained significant attention due to its unique properties and wide array of applications. Composed of silicate minerals, its notable characteristics include excellent electrical insulation, thermal stability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. These properties make mica an invaluable raw material across various industries, including cosmetics, electronics, paints, and construction.

What are the uses of mica

The Importance of Mica Processing Plants in the Mineral Industry

Layer upon layer of mica

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.

1. Select Your Mica Choose the colors that inspire you. Many suppliers offer micas that are specifically formulated for cosmetic use, ensuring they are safe for skin contact.

While mica powder offers numerous benefits, it is essential to address ethical sourcing. The mica mining industry has faced scrutiny due to reports of child labor and unsafe working conditions, particularly in regions where mica is harvested. As a response, many cosmetic brands are now committed to using responsibly sourced mica, ensuring that their ingredients are obtained without exploitation.

4. Pour and Create Once you attain your desired hue, pour the resin into your molds or onto your project surface. Experiment with different layering techniques, combining it with other colors or clear resin for dynamic effects.
