MICA


MICA is chemically Silicate of Aluminium with some water of crystallisation. MICA contains one or more elements like Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Lithium, Vanadium and Iron, sometimes also Barium and Manganese. Mica occurs in lamellar form and it exhibits a elecrokinetic forming structures which have a marked effect on viscosity and Thixotropy.
Typical Properties of MICA
- High purity.
- High aspect ratio.
- Higher HDT.
- Higher flexural modulus and Flexural strength.
- Better Di-electric properties.
- Lower permeability and shrinkage.
- Low power loss factor.
- Non-conductor of electricity.
- Withstands at higher temperature.
Application of Mica
- Thermoplastic Polymers (PP, PA, PBT, PPS)
- Elastomer
- Rubbers
- Thermoset Compounds
- Pearl Scent Pigments
- Decorative Paints
- Automobile Compounds
