The rapid development of new energy vehicles, batteries and other emerging industries also provides a new application scenario for mica products, such as power battery modules and energy storage system of mica cover plate, mica partition, mica monitoring board and composite mica tape and other products, the application of mica provides the industry with a fire safety solution.

Mica powder is an incredibly versatile and beneficial additive used in the production of soft plastics. Composed of naturally occurring mica minerals, this fine powder is known for its unique properties, including its lightweight nature, excellent thermal resistance, and exceptional brilliance. As industries continually seek innovative ways to enhance product quality, the application of mica powder in soft plastics has garnered significant attention for its performance-enhancing characteristics.

Mica is a group of silicate minerals that are mined and ground into a fine powder. This powder is prized for its ability to reflect light, giving it a shimmering quality that is unmatched by other pigments. Mica powder is non-toxic, making it safe for a wide range of artistic applications, and it comes in an array of colors, from muted earth tones to vibrant hues. This versatility allows artists to experiment with different palettes and create unique effects in their artwork.

Construction: Muscovite is often used as an additive in construction materials to improve insulation, strength, and thermal resistance. It is also commonly used in wallboard and roofing materials.

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.
