Coarse Flake Muscovite Mica Grades are dry ground, high aspect ratio potassium silicate. These products are very uniform in particle size and have a low percentage of fines. These coarse flake mica products are widely used in a number of applications including: plastics, foundry resins, brake shoes, refractories, sound deadening, adhesives, coatings, welding rods, tank linings, floor coatings, sealants, mastics, lubricants and cement based products. We also have KCM-100K which is screened version of KCM-100, to remove the + 100 mesh partcles. This is a very friendly product for several of the plastic compounders.
Wet Ground Muscovite Mica Grades are high aspect ratio materials which exhibits exceptional brightness and purity.
Plastic:
These micas are excellent additives for plastics to improve flexural modulus, tensile strength, dimensional stability and as an
excellent extender for glass fibers.
Coatings:
When used in coatings, mica imparts a barrier in the film to improve moisture resistance, chemical resistance, brushability and
promotes film adhesion
Unlike typical muscovite mica, which is 5 – 10 points darker in shade, formulators of both plastics and coatings can consider these white micas where color is of critical importance.
