Categories: Ceramic; Oxide; Other Engineering Material

Material Notes: Micronized Mica for paints and coatings, cosmetics, rubber, plastic and polymer formulations.

Micronized Muscovite Mica is pigment extender in various paints and coatings & regarded tough, flexible and transparent.

Mica is an antifriction, antifouling, antisettling, anticorrosive, antitarmish and antisiege agent. The over lapping layers of mica platelets form a tough shield that improves paint integrity and durability.

Mica acts as a reinforcing pigment to reduce cracking, peeling and checking in the dry film and prevents shrinkage and sheering of the paint. When a paint starts to fall, mica holds it together sufficiently to keep it away from cissing, curtaining and prevents microscopic ruptures in the paint films.

Mica particles brighten the tone of the colored pigments, at the same time, transmit and reflect light resulting in proven decorative effects and design. It increases the gloss of paint more effectively than spherical or irregularly shaped filler particles of an equivalent size product. Mica also optimize the effect of other pigments by ensuring that the pigment particles are evenly spaced in the dried paint film.

Mica is widely used in Aluminum, automotive, anti corrosive, cement, emulsion, synthetic, water, fire resistant, marine, road marking, textured, traffic paints.

Mica also finds applications in cosmetic, paint and coatings, rubber, electronics, plastics and polymers, refractory, insulation, metallurgical formulations.
