| MICA-SOFT® MICA-MU®  |
MICA-MU® and MICA-SOFT® are natural, 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 grain sizes ranging from 500 micrometer to 3 mm. This mica is especially recommended when whiteness or coloration are important factors in 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 higher lamellarity. This mica is particularly recommended for plastics reinforcement and acts also as a releasing agent in many type of moulds. These micas are insoluble in water, inert to all acids but hydrofluoric, have good arc resistance, and are transparent to microwaves. MICA-MU® and MICA-SOFT® comply with ISO 3262-12 for paints and EN 71-3 for any application requiring food contact. |
