Understanding the fundamentals of mica

Product Overview

The Lustrous Layered Mineral

Mica is a complex silicate mineral with a unique layered structure that provides exceptional properties — high aspect ratio, heat resistance, and brilliant luster.

Its perfect basal cleavage creates thin, flexible, transparent sheets with outstanding electrical and thermal insulation, making it indispensable in cosmetics, electronics, and effect pigments.
