Where will Mica be used?

Apr. 22, 2020

As a Mica Powder Factory, share with you. Muscovite is used more in industry, followed by phlogopite. It is widely used in the building materials industry, fire protection industry, fire extinguishing agent, welding electrode, plastic, electrical insulation, paper making, asphalt paper, rubber, pearlescent pigment and other chemical industries. Ultrafine mica powder is used as functional fillers for plastics, paints, paints, rubbers, etc., which can improve its mechanical strength, enhance toughness, adhesion, anti-aging and corrosion resistance. In addition to its extremely high electrical insulation, resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, elasticity, toughness and sliding properties, heat and sound insulation, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, it is also the first to introduce the smooth surface of the sheet, the large diameter-thickness ratio, regular shape, Features such as strong focus. Industry mainly uses its insulation and heat resistance, as well as acid resistance, alkali resistance, pressure resistance and stripping properties, as insulation materials for electrical equipment and electrical equipment; secondly for the manufacture of steam boilers and smelting furnace parts on windows and machinery. Mica crushed and mica powder can be processed into mica paper, or it can replace mica flakes to produce various low-cost, uniform thickness insulating materials.

Muscovite Mica

Muscovite Mica

Common minerals in the mica minerals include biotite, Muscovite Mica, phlogopite, lepidolite, sericite, etc. Mica is usually in the form of pseudo-hexagonal or diamond-shaped plates, flakes, and columns. The color varies with the change of chemical composition, and it becomes darker with the increase of Fe content. Muscovite is colorless, transparent or light-colored; biotite is black to dark brown, dark green and other colors; phlogopite is yellow, brown, green or colorless; lepidolite is lilac, rose red to gray. Glass luster, with pearl luster on cleavage surface. Mohs hardness is generally 2 to 3.5, and the specific gravity is 2.7 to 3.5. The cleavage on the parallel bottom surface is extremely complete. Muscovite and phlogopite have good electrical insulation and thermal conductivity, acid resistance, alkali resistance and pressure resistance, so they are widely used to make insulating materials in the electronics and electrical industries. Mica chips and powder are used as fillers, etc. Lepidolite is also the main mineral raw material for lithium extraction.
