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.

3. Mix Gradually Add a small amount of mica powder to your body butter and mix thoroughly. Gradually increase the amount until you achieve the desired level of shimmer without compromising the creaminess of the butter.

- Customer Service Evaluate the supplier’s customer support capabilities. A responsive and knowledgeable sales team can significantly enhance your experience as a client.

Customization: If you need specific grades or types of muscovite, find suppliers who can offer tailored solutions, such as precise flake sizes or clear muscovite sheets.

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 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.
