It is an indispensable and important raw material in the fields of electric heating equipment, wire and cable, aerospace and so on.
Mica is also an effective anti-aging ingredient. Its light-reflecting abilities help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, providing a smoother, younger-looking complexion. By scattering light, mica can reduce the visibility of imperfections, giving the skin a flawless, airbrushed appearance.

Mica has a wide range of uses, in ancient China, it is often used to do traditional Chinese medicine, the ancients even think that taking mica: a year to remove all diseases (heavy metal poisoning), three years of long service, husband into a boy (body scrap), Zhongshan uncle Qing suit, over time can become a cloud (soul ascension). However, in the era without glass, the transparency of mica makes it a better decorative material, for example, we are familiar with the mica screen candle shadow deep, the river gradually falling Xiaoxing sink. Mica screen is low, tassel tent is small and mica calf car.
Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:
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.
It is an indispensable and important raw material in the fields of electric heating equipment, wire and cable, aerospace and so on.
In addition, lepidolite and ferrolepidolite can also be used as mineral raw materials for extracting lithium.
