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.

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.
1. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral known for its excellent electrical insulation properties.
2. Mica is transparent and heat-resistant, making it an ideal material for windows in high-temperature environments.
3. This mineral is often used in cosmetics for its shimmering and light-reflecting qualities.
4. Mica\'s flexibility and resistance to chemicals and moisture make it a valuable material in various industrial applications.
5. Mica is available in sheet and flake forms, with various grades and thicknesses suitable for different uses.

Mica in its processed form is one of the most versatile used materials. For over seven decades we have been processing the natural raw mica rocks to the widely used mica sheets for applications ranging from power electronics to consumer electronics.
They are made with cut condensor films that are thoroughly cleaned with the help of dc-greasing agents and are then silvered on both sides by screen printing process. There is perfect adhesion between mica and silver which results in optimum performance of the plates.
Mica flakes is mica scrap grinded into sizes ranging from 2 mesh to 30 mesh. Natural mica flakes is prepared by rotary hammer crushing machine. Mica flakes are primarily used in industries involved in the manufacturing of pearlescent pigment, concrete block fillers, refractory bricks, asphalt roofing felts, etc.
Mica flakes also vary in quality based on the quality of the mica scrap used for production. We manufacture flakes of three different qualities:
High quality made from mica scrap tested to withstand temperatures above 900 degrees C & completely white in color.
Medium quality of tested mica scrap that has a less stringent requirement of color.
Untested mica flakes without any testing temperature requirement.
Block Mica is knife-dressed mica with a minimum thickness of 7 mils (0. 18 mm). Block Mica is available in sizes up to 12 to 14 (30 to 35 cm) square. Block Mica larger than this is rare and even it was available it would be far too costly for most applications. Block Mica is available in sheets with an average thickness between 7 mils & 30 mils (0. 1 8 mm & 075 mm) Block Mica is supplied in both natural (random) and calibrated thickness as required by the customer. After splitting into a specified thickness the mica is then cut and punched to the required size and shape to meet the requirements, typically, of an electrical application.
- Average particle size of this Produce code U 80 is 10-70 Micron.
We produce mica powder from 100 Micron. Usually market requirement are supplied.
- The test standard mentioned SO-IN-MUL-TE109 is a method for the determination of trace elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma â?? Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). It is done by independent Lab - SGS INDIA Laboratory for our mica powders at various intervals.
For your information, We have our inhouse Lazer analyser machine, Digital Microscope, Muffle furnace and other equipment for quality control of our products produced.
Knife or scissor dressed sheet mica with irregular shape and a minimum thickness of 0.18 mm (0.007 inch or 7 mils) are called Mica Blocks. It is available in sheets with both random (natural) and calibrated thickness as per demand. After undergoing size and quality grading, Mica Blocks are exported. Block Mica larger than this is rare and even it were available it would be far too costly for most applications. After splitting into a specified thickness the mica is then cut and punched to a required size and shape to meet the requirements, typically, of an electrical application
