MICA hits the market.
Continental Trade sp. z o.o. specializes (among others) in the sale of various types of natural mica (flakes, sheets, ground and micronized mica) and processed mica (micanite).
For quite some time we notice increasing demand for mica, especially flakes and ground mica. From year to year we sell mica more and more. Also, extends area of its application.
Maybe you also find the possibility of use mica in your business ? We will gladly provide information and assistance in choosing the appropriate type of mica, we will select the flake color and size appropriate for your application.

We are direct importers of mica from mines in India and China. Thanks to this we have a direct impact on the quality of imported raw material, the stability of its parameters, as well as reasonable prices.
Why exactly mica ? | |

Mica hits the market thanks to its great properties such as:

Areas of application | |
Acrylic, silicone, silicate or mineral plasters: The addition of mica increases resistance to weathering and UV radiation, improves dirt immunity, increases resistance to impact and scratches, hides minor surface scratches; plastered surface shimmers in the sun, sparks imitates natural stone (decorative plaster). Luster given by mica flakes is used in the renovation of historic internal and external plasters. |

Conglomerates The conglomerate is a material created by bonding stone powder with an epoxy resin. So obtained material can be machined and polished to a high gloss. Usually, it is used for the production of window sills and various kinds of countertops. The addition of mica flakes to stone powder improves resistance to abrasion, UV radiation and of course improves the visual appeal of the final product. |

Paints and varnishes Layered structure of mica (acting as ichthyosis) increases the anti-corrosion paint effect by preventing corrosive to metal surfaces. High abrasion resistance and excellent adhesion to the substrate improves the quality of road marking paints. |

Plastics In the production of plastic products, mica is mainly used as a filler for increasing the strength of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers. For these applications are sold white ground and micronized mica of individually selectable granularity. |

Welding electrodes The mica coating provides two distinct types of protection to the welding rods:
No other material cannot replace mica in that application. The nature of mica coating that largely determines the quality of a welding electrodes. |

Production of concrete and terrazzo slabs The use of mica reducing the tendency to shrinkage and cracking during concrete hardens. It is also important (especially in the production of terrazzo) adding effect of a shiny granite. |

Gypsum board partitions Mica ground is lightweight, non-flammable, chemically inert and resistant to abrasion. It has good thermal insulation properties and an excellent characteristic for sound absorption. Low coefficient of shrinkage and expansion, good dimensional stability, temperature stability, and extremely low water absorption are some of its additional outstanding features. All these properties makes mica an ideal product for use as a filler in light-weight fire-resistant pre-fabricated gypsum wallboard slabs and panels for building constructions, in place of asbestos, where thermal insulation and acoustic properties are of particular importance. For these purposes, mainly mica flakes 3-5 mm or 5-10 mm are sell . |

Soundproofing pastes, mats and carpeting for automobiles Mica properties such as flammability, lack of gases at high temperature, moisture resistance, and above all sound absorption mean that it is readily applicable as a key element for soundproofing in the car industry. The best suited here muscovite flakes granulation 1 - 3 mm. |
