In short, there are significant differences between natural mica powder and synthetic mica powder in production methods, color and appearance, performance characteristics, application fields, and price and cost. Synthetic mica powder is superior to natural mica powder in terms of high temperature resistance, transparency, electrical insulation, stability and mechanical properties, while natural mica powder has more advantages in resource acquisition, cost and color. When choosing which type of mica powder to use, you can consider the high temperature resistance of the required material, electrical insulation performance, transparency and color requirements, evaluate the mechanical strength and hardness of the required material, consider chemical stability and other different application scenarios and technical requirements to make a reasonable choice.

Once your resin is prepared, it’s time to add the mica powder. Start by adding a small amount of mica powder to the mixed resin and hardener. The typical ratio is 1 teaspoon of mica powder per 1 ounce of resin, but feel free to adjust based on your desired intensity. As you mix, observe the color development. The mica will blend beautifully into the resin, creating a stunning, vibrant hue.
