Typical applications
Ground mica, depending on particles size (mica classification by particle size is described here), has different applications. Some of them are summarized in the table below.
| Grade | Sieve size [mesh] | Sieve size [µm] | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coarse-fine powder | 30 | 550 | Metal annealing, disinfectants, automotive components, absorbent in explosives |
| Med-fine powder | 60 | 250 | Welding electrodes, cables, foundry works, pipeline enamels, lubricants, adhesives |
| Fine powder | 100 | 150 | Texture paints, acoustical plaster, ceiling tiles |
| Superfine powder | 325 or above | ≤ 44 | Paints, plastics, rubber products, paper, cosmetics |
Typical procedure for sale of ground mica.
We offer ground mica in a wide range of particles size, depending on the needs of a particular application.
Typically, ground mica sales process, after talking with customers and recognizing their needs, start from ground mica sample preparation (e.g. 5 kg) with different degrees of fragmentation and different tolerances of fragmentation, for example: -32 Mesh, +60 mesh (which means "+ "and" - "see here). After the laboratory tests clients order larger amounts (e.g. 1000 kg), for the trial process using production line. Chosen by the customer specific type of ground mica, checking out the best in his application, receives a special index in our system, to ensure preservation unchangeable parameters of ground mica in subsequent deliveries, usually over several years.
We invite you to contact us. We offer our experience in selecting of ground mica (flakes, powders, powder) for various applications. Most popular areas of applications where we supply ground mica are listed below. If you have other, non-standard, needs - please contact us and we will help and advise.
