PACKAGING & DELIVERY Packaging Details: Dried, Bulk, Rock Port: Lagos Apapa Port, Nigeria Bags: 50 kg Container: 20 ft Lead time: Quantity (metric tons) 25MT/Month 125MT/Month (Lead days) 30 Days 30 Days 1. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MINERAL MICA Chemical Composition: The general formula for mica group minerals is XY Z O (OH, F) : X: Can be K, Na, Ba, Ca, Cs, (HO), or (NH). Y: Includes Al, Mg, Fe, Li, Cr, Mn, V, and Zn. Z: Comprises Si, Al, Fe, Be, and Ti. The chemical properties of mica minerals vary depending on the specific type of mica. However, all micas are silica (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and potassium oxide (K2O). Some micas may contain other elements, such as iron oxide (Fe2O3) and magnesium oxide (MgO). The following table shows the chemical composition of some common mica minerals: Mica mineral SiO2 Al2O3 K2O Fe2O3 MgO Muscovite 45.57 33.1 9.87 0 0 Biotite 47.7 30.9 3 10 3 Phlogopite 47.5 31 3 0 15 Of the 28 known species of mica, six are common rock-forming minerals: Muscovite: The common light-colored mica. Biotite: Typically black or nearly black. Phlogopite: Typically brown. Paragonite: Macroscopically indistinguishable from muscovite. Lepidolite: Generally pinkish to lilac; occurs in lithium-bearing pegmatites. Glauconite: A green species found sporadically in marine sedimentary sequences.
Mica is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral of aluminium and potassium with formula KAl(F, OH), or (KF) (AlO) (SiO). Muscovite can be cleaved into very thin transparent sheets that can substitute for glass, particularly for high-temperature applications such as industrial furnace or oven windows. It is also used in the manufacture of a wide variety of electronics and as a filler in paints, plastic, and wallboard. Our monthly supply of these mineral ranges from 1000-2000MT.

Mica Powder: Mica Powder is a non-toxic mineral, it is known for giving off a metallic and shimmery appearance. Mica Powder is also very versatile and can be used for an assortment of different projects such as INSULATION, HEAT RESISTANCE, CORROSION RESISTANCE. Widely used in the building materials industry, Paint, Exterior wall coating, Marine coating, fire protection industry, fire extinguishing agents, welding electrodes, plastics, rubber, electrical insulation, papermaking, asphalt paper, pearlescent pigments, and other chemical industries. Size: 30 - 60 Mesh Standard: Grade-A, High-quality Color: Shiny-Silver Available Stock: 80 MT
Mica Powder is a mineral with a high-quality aspect ratio. It is chemically known as Alumina Silicate. It is fireproof in nature with low heat thermal conductivity and excellent thermal stability. Mica powder can be used in paint and coating, fireproof insulation to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays or other light and heat damage to the paint film, promote coating acid and alkali and insulation, and strengthen its durability, freezing resistance corrosion resistance, water resistance, etc. It helps to strengthen the adherence to the layer, improve its intensity, brightness, tenacity, and compaction. As a result, it is conducive to reducing the ventilation, preventing speckle and chaps as well as reducing sediment in the paint. As a prior filler in paint, mica flakes and powder can be used to substitute some expensive raw materials in the paint so as to reduce the production cost. Grade: High Quality, Dustless Size: 20 to 40 Mesh APPLICATIONS: Reinforced structures provide thermal insulation Fireproof insulation coating Sound Absorption As a protective coating and provided waterproofing.
