Mica Powder Series: Multi-specification Mineral Raw Materials for Cosmetics, High-end Fine Chemicals and Special-effect Functional Materials

Mica powder covers natural sericite, wet-ground mica, synthetic mica and pearlescent mica. Different processing technologies endow them with silky gloss, high transparency and pearlescent shimmer effect. With controllable fineness from 100 mesh to 2500 mesh, they are vital mineral raw materials for cosmetic formulation, high-end fine chemicals, special-effect pigments and premium functional composite materials. As beauty and fine-chemical industries keep upgrading, high-quality mica-series materials play a growing role in improving product texture, luster and comprehensive performance.

In cosmetic and personal-care industry, wet-ground mica, synthetic mica and pearlescent mica are widely used cosmetic additives. Fine wet-ground mica powder features soft silky luster, good skin-friendly property and smooth spreading feel, widely added into cream, foundation and skin-care products to optimize texture. Impurity-free synthetic mica presents high transparency, serving as high-grade base material for eyeshadow and loose powder. Pearlescent synthetic mica delivers sparkling pearlescent effect, which is core raw material for highlighting, eyeshadow and nail polish. Natural sericite with high whiteness can be used for low-cost cosmetic formula, yet note that sericite intergrowth contains talc composition, not recommended for high-end cosmetic formulas.

In high-end fine-chemical and sealing-lubrication fields, wet-ground mica powder with high aspect ratio shows prominent advantages. Thanks to large aspect ratio up to 1:80, excellent suspension property, heat-resistant and weather-resistant performance, wet-ground mica powder is applied for automotive topcoat, construction high-grade paint, sealant, sealing strips and lubricating grease. Its lamellar sheet structure can form stable barrier membrane, effectively enhance product anti-aging, water-proof and sealing capacity, extend service life of finished fine-chemical products.

For special-effect decorative materials, synthetic mica, golden mica and black mica realize diversified visual and functional properties. Flaky synthetic mica is transparent and bright, applied in high-grade varnish and special composite materials. Golden mica with natural metallic luster works as filler for decorative paint, plastic and rubber to obtain metallic appearance. Black mica with outstanding acid-alkali-resistant and high-temperature-resistant performance fits special-function coating, electrical components for heavy-corrosion environment.

Low-cost natural sericite is suitable for large-volume general-industry scenarios. It is commonly used as alternative for white mica in fire-resistant, insulation and anti-corrosion fields. Please note sericite is intergrown with talc ore, containing 20%-50% talc content, poor acid-alkali resistance, so it is not fit for severe corrosive working conditions. It is cost-effective for non-high-end mass-production projects.
