What is Mica?
Mica- A mineral that reflects light! From industries, home
to beauty products, mica is widely used. Mica is a natural occurring mineral
that is blended with the perfect combination of silicate minerals and varying
amounts of potassium, iron, aluminum, magnesium, and water. It is found to have
thin and plate like structure with various compositions and physical
properties. Along with the extraordinary split in the larger surface, Mica
forms flat six-sided mono clinic surface. This allows the mineral to be easily
cleaned into optically flat films.
Have you ever wondered, what makes mica's so important to
command such a unique position? Because, mica had been gifted with exceptional
values and it possesses some of the most outstanding combination of chemical,
physical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties which are not found in
any other product. Another characteristic of
mica sheets, are they used for high-performance thermal and
electrical insulation in a broad range of industries.
Processing of Mica
The ordinary mica crystals as they come out of a mica is in
the form of rough books or lumps of irregular shape, size, and thickness
associated with impurities and structural imperfections. They have to undergo a
long operation of cutting, sorting, and processing from crude to commercial
quality. The resulting waste from the production of crude to commercially useful
mica sheet forms about 90% sometimes even total output of mica from a mine is
sold as scrap mica and it can be used as Mica scrap or can be used for grinding
mica powder.
There is no machine adorn in the marketplace that will
process the mica mechanically. The processing technique, therefore, involves
only a pair of hands, eyes, and a simple knife. The operation performed
consists of cobbling or cleaning the crude crystals as extracted from the mine
with its associated impurities; rifting or splitting the cobbed mica into
usable sheets by sickle and then by sharp knife, removing major flaws and
structural imperfections, such as cracks, holes, reeves, cross grains and other
physical defects obtain the maximum usable area with minimum wastage.
Uses of Mica
Mica is a naturally occurring stone that directly applies to
a set of minerals containing silica in its highest form. This mineral is widely
utilized in gypsum wallboard combined compound where it acts as wadding
prevents cracking. There are a variety of uses of this mineral such as:
Ø Its shiny and glittery appearance makes it
ultimate for toothpaste and cosmetics.
Ø It used in paints as a pigment extender and
also helpful in brighter the tone of colored pigments.
Ø
In the electrical industry the same as thermal
insulation, and electrical insulators in electronic equipment.
The high thermal resistance allows it to be used
as an insulator in various electronics.
