Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:
Mica is a new non-metallic crystal material, a national key new material, with heat insulation, insulation, high temperature resistance characteristics, is an important material in aerospace, rail transit, nuclear power, wind power, aircraft carriers and other high-tech fields, but also electrical equipment, wire and cable, household appliances indispensable insulation material, in the national economy and national defense construction plays an important role.

Trustworthiness is a critical consideration for businesses sourcing from China
. While the country has historically faced challenges related to counterfeit products and inconsistent quality control, significant improvements have been made. Enhanced regulatory frameworks and a focus on sustainability have bolstered the trust of global consumers. Real-world experiences from international companies sourcing mica from China underscore a trend of positive feedback, highlighting improvements in product consistency and supplier reliability.Synthetic 120 mesh :large particle size, with pearl shining effect.
2. Product Range A supplier that offers a wide range of mica products can be beneficial for companies looking for specific colors, sizes, or types of mica powder. This versatility can streamline the procurement process.
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.
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.
X represents large interlayer cations, such as K+, Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Rb+, Cs+, etc. Y represents octahedral cations, such as Al3+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+, etc. Z is mainly Si4+ and Al3+; The ideal ratio of the additional anion (OH)- to (O)2- is 2:10, and (OH)- can be replaced by F- and Cl-. Most mica contain 4% to 5% water. Therefore, although they may be called mica, the chemical composition of different mica may be very different, for the purpose of research, we collectively refer to the minerals with this type of characteristics as mica group minerals.
The common characteristics of mica group minerals are: layered silicate minerals, monoclinic crystal system, a few trigonal crystal system, the crystals are pseudo-hexagonal columnar, plate and sheet; The aggregate is scaly and foliaceous. It has a set of extremely complete cleavage, along which it is easy to peel into sheets. Therefore, the shape of mica is usually regarded as sheet.

Mica powder, known as industrial monosodium glutamate, is widely used. With the continuous development of technology and application market, and some new requirements have been put forward for the quality of mica powder, so synthetic mica powder has been developed. Compared with the natural mica powder processed by natural mica ore, and the synthetic mica powder synthesized by using a variety of raw materials through high temperature reaction and other chemical methods. What are the advantages and differences between them?
1. Cosmetics and Personal Care One of the most popular uses of synthetic mica is in the beauty industry. Its shimmering quality enhances the appearance of cosmetics like eyeshadows, highlighters, and lip products, providing a lustrous finish. Moreover, the uniformity in particle size and shape ensures consistent application and performance, making synthetic mica a go-to ingredient for formulators.
The mica industry is undergoing profound changes. With the help of emerging industries, the mica industry will be a large market of more than 10 billion.
Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined and processed to create a fine powder. It is renowned for its ability to reflect light, giving products a sparkling or glowing effect. In cosmetics, mica is used in everything from eyeshadows and highlighters to foundations and lipsticks. The versatility of cosmetic mica makes it a favorite among makeup manufacturers who aim to create a visually appealing, radiant finish.
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.
