Sheet mica is used principally in the electronic and electrical industries. Its usefulness in these applications is derived from its unique electrical and thermal insulating properties and its mechanical properties, which allow it to be cut, punched, stamped, and machined to close tolerances. Specifically, mica is unusual in that it is a good electrical insulator at the same time as being a good thermal conductor.
Only high-quality muscovite film mica, which is variously called India ruby mica or ruby muscovite mica. The highest quality mica film is used to manufacture capacitors for calibration standards. The next lower grade is used in transmitting capacitors. Receiving capacitors use a slightly lower grade of high-quality muscovite.
Mica sheets are used to provide structure for heating wire and can withstand up to 900 °C (1,650 °F).
Scrap mica or Mica Flakes are made up of muscovite mica sizes ranging as per customer requirement. Mica Flakes are greatly used in manufacturing of Pearlescent Pigment, Concrete Block Fillers, Refractory Bricks, Asphalt Roofing Felts, Metals Explosives and Disinfectant etc. Mica powder is used in welding electrodes, Electrical cables & wires, foundry application, paints acoustic enclosure, Ceiling tiles, plastics etc.
