- Mica has high
refractive index and a good chemical, mechanical and thermal
stability
- Mica with maximum
achievable mesh size is used in cosmetic products because of its
glow and adhesion properties
- There are basically
two methods of mica processing: dry grinding and wet grinding.
- In dry grinding,
high-speed rollers beat the mica into a substance resembling a sort
of flour. Also called "bran mica," roofing manufacturers often use
this coarser material to coat composite roof materials so that it
doesn't stick to itself when rolled for storage or during shipping.
- Rollers or grinders
with teeth move slowly to tear at the mica under water. Some
industries believe that the wet grinding method produces a better
grade of mica, which is shinier and of better purity than dry ground
mica. One drawback is that dry grinding machines' capacity is
greater than that of the wet grinders. This makes wet ground mica
more expensive in the marketplace.
- One of the
characteristics of mica is that grinding produces flaky powders with
high aspect ratio which is the most important factor and determines
the performance of particle
- Wet ground mica have a
high
metallic lustre or silvery sheen and is free from grit. However, it
is a slow and costly process, and therefore, the product is
relatively expensive. It is especially used as a pigment extender
in paints, particularly in zinc-oxide paint and as a mould lubricant
and dusting agent in pneumatic tyres as well as wall paper.
- Ground mica is used in
the Rubber Industry as a dusting agent and as an inert filler in the
production of rubber.
- As per the Foreign
Trade Policy for 2015-20 andthe effective Export-Import Policy,
exports and imports of varieties of mica blocks, splittings,
powder,waste and scrap under heading 2525 are allowed
without restrictions.
- India exported wet
ground mica worth USD three millions with total quantity of 3,162,
tons. Belgium is the largest buyer of wet ground mica followed by
China and Japan
- India imported wet
ground mica worth USD 111,007 under HS Code 25252090 with total
quantity of 155tons China is the only supplier of wet ground mica .
