What are the uses and characteristics of Muscovite flakes? Muscovite sheet has insulation, high temperature resistance, luster, stable physical and chemical properties, good heat insulation, elasticity and toughness, processed mica powder has good sliding and strong adhesion.

Muscovite flakes, belonging to silicates, have the chemical formula kal2 (alsi3010) (OH) 2, monoclinic system, hardness of 2.5-4, specific gravity of 2.77-2.88, and are usually plate-shaped pseudohexahedral crystals, flakes or scales in natural environment. Color from colorless to white, sometimes green, brown, etc., streaks for colorless, with glass or pearl luster. There are well-developed basal cleavages, so mica can be torn off one by one.

Muscovite sheet (Baiyan sheet) is characterized by insulation, high temperature resistance, luster, stable physical and chemical properties, good heat insulation, elasticity and toughness. The processed mica powder also has good sliding property and strong adhesion.

Due to the properties of mica and mica powder, they are mainly used as follows: daily chemical raw material, mica ceramic raw material, paint additive, plastic and rubber additive, building material, protective layer for electrode coating, drilling mud additive, and so on.
