 MICA-MU®,
MICA-SOFT®
MICA-MU®
and MICA-SOFT® are natural and white muscovite
mica (alumino-silicate). These performant
minerals have an excellent platelet structure, exceptional electrical
properties and resist practically to all chemical materials
MICA-MU®
is a dry ground muscovite mica available in different grain sizes : from 500 mm to 3 mm. This mica is
especially recommended when whiteness or coloration are important factors (paints, plastics…)
MICA-SOFT® is a wet ground
muscovite mica available in different grain sizes (from 40 mm to 10 mm). Its wet grinding
process preserves the natural luster and sheen and
permits to reach a higher lamellarity. This mica is
particularly recommended for plastics reinforcement and acts also as a
releasing agent in many type of moulds.
