Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:

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.

What is Shimmer Mica Powder?

Synthetic 120 mesh :large particle size, with pearl shining effect.

Pearl pigment powder is a finely milled material that contains mica, titanium dioxide, and other minerals that produce a lustrous, iridescent effect. When applied to car surfaces, it reflects light in a way that creates depth and dimension, resulting in vibrant and captivating colors. Unlike traditional pigments that yield a flat appearance, pearl pigments provide a shimmering quality that changes with the angle of light. This dynamic effect enhances the car's visual appeal, making it stand out in crowded environments.

- Lip Products When combined with oils and waxes, pigment powders can create highly pigmented lipsticks and glosses that offer rich color with lasting wear.

Trustworthiness is also a key component of China's position in the mica market. Transparency in operations and adherence to environmental regulations are prioritized, ensuring that mica production does not adversely affect the surrounding ecosystem. Furthermore, collaborations with international organizations aim to improve mining practices and uphold ethical standards, reinforcing the trust placed in China as a leading mica supplier.

Take pearlescent pigments as an example, pearlescent pigments are a class of pigments with pearl luster, which are deposited on the substrate (generally natural mica, synthetic mica, glass sheet and other sheet-like materials) above a layer or alternately deposited multiple layers of metal oxides or non-metallic oxides and formed a flat sandwich body with a structure similar to sandwich. Due to the difference in refractive index between the substrate and the oxide deposited on its surface and each oxide, when the light shines on the surface of the pearlescent pigment, the incident light will be refracted and reflected at the interface of each layer of the pearlescent pigment, and the color of the pearlescent pigment that people see is the result of the superposition of light after multiple refractions and reflections of the light, that is, the interference phenomenon of light.

Edible mica powder is derived from natural mica minerals, which are finely milled to produce a fine powder safe for human consumption. Unlike traditional decorative materials, which may contain harmful substances or synthetic dyes, edible mica powder is specifically designed with food safety in mind. It is often used as a food coloring agent to add a lustrous finish to various dishes, making it an ideal choice for cake decorators and pastry chefs.
