Die beiden bekanntesten Arten von Glimmer sind Muskovit und Biotit. Muskovit, auch als Weissglimmer bezeichnet, ist ein durchscheinender bis durchsichtiger Glimmer, der häufig in hellem Farbton vorkommt, wie zum Beispiel Grau, Gelb oder Grün. Aufgrund seiner hohen Temperaturbeständigkeit und guten elektrischen Isolationseigenschaften wird Muskovit häufig in der Elektroindustrie eingesetzt, insbesondere in Kondensatoren und Isolatoren. Zudem findet es Verwendung in kosmetischen Produkten, da es eine schimmernde Wirkung auf der Haut erzeugt.

Modified plastics are plastic products that are processed and modified through filling, blending, and strengthening methods on the basis of general plastics and engineering plastics, improving their flame retardancy, strength, impact resistance, toughness, and other properties.

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.

1. Purity and Sourcing Not all mica powders are created equal. Poor-quality mica may contain impurities or heavy metal traces that could lead to adverse effects. Therefore, it is essential to source mica from reputable suppliers who provide transparency regarding their product testing.

It is an indispensable and important raw material in the fields of electric heating equipment, wire and cable, aerospace and so on.
