Overview of Mica

Mica is a naturally occurring inorganic mineral group widely used in paints & coatings, plastics, rubber, construction materials, electronics, and speciality industrial applications. Chemically, the mica formula varies depending on the type (such as muscovite or phlogopite), but it is commonly represented as KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂, reflecting its layered aluminosilicate structure.

From a structural perspective, mica minerals have a sheet-like (lamellar) structure, which allows them to split into thin, flexible flakes. This unique mica structure provides excellent thermal resistance, electrical insulation, chemical stability, and barrier properties. Industrial mica typically appears as a white to silvery flaky powder or granules, depending on processing grade.

Due to its versatility and stability, mica uses span across multiple heavy and speciality industries. ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Mica with controlled particle size, consistent purity, and reliable performance for demanding applications. Each batch is supported with complete technical documentation including MSDS, COA, and technical data sheets for professional industrial use.
