Using dry ground mica powder for different purposes is a good choice. There are several manufacturers out there who help you with required mesh size, screened Mica powder and scrapes. High-quality materials are used for the production of such products.

There are several uses of Mica scarps and powder. The scrapes can be used to weld materials, in paint as a powder form and much more. The following are some uses and applications of Mica and mica powder. Read on to know more.

1> Mica is used as a pigment extender in paint industries. This also facilitates suspension, prevents shearing and shrinkage of the film of the paint, reduces chalking, brightens the tone of the pigment in the colour.

2> Mica has used in great amounts in the mild steel routine based welding electrodes. You will get a steel core in the welding electrode which is coated uniformly with the help of a flux that contains mica as a lagging compound.

3> Cut Mica Plates for Mica Capacitors

4> Radiation Insulation

5> Transistor and Semi-Conductors

6> Electrical Heating Appliances

7> Radiation Pyrometers and Thermal Regulators

8> Both off-shore or on-shore drilling needs mica. This is used as an additive to drilling muds.

9>Communication Devices

10> Flat irons

11> Resistance and Potentiometers Cards

12> Accoustics Apparatus, Detonators, Radiophone, Gramophone, Sound Boxes, Head Phones, Loud Speakers
