Mica is primarily made up of silicate minerals, with its main components being aluminum, potassium, magnesium, iron, silicon, and oxygen. The most common types of mica are muscovite and phlogopite.

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.

Versatile Applications

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.

In recent years, the global mica industry has witnessed substantial growth, with significant contributions from leading mica exporters. These exporters have been instrumental in meeting the increasing demand for mica across various sectors, such as cosmetics, electronics, and automotive industries. As a critical component in manufacturing processes, mica's outstanding properties, including its thermal and electrical resistance, lightweight nature, and insulation capabilities, make it indispensable.

Moreover, synthetic fluorphlogopite contributes to advancements in the automotive sector. As vehicles become increasingly sophisticated, the demand for materials that can withstand high temperatures and provide reliable electrical insulation has intensified. Synthetic fluorphlogopite is therefore being integrated into automotive components to enhance safety and performance, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles where efficient thermal management is essential.

Customization: Look for factories that can customize the powder to specific sizes, textures, or colors to suit your requirements.
