Thermally and chemically stable! It is an attractive material with a large aspect ratio.
Mica is a type of layered silicate mineral that has the characteristic of being very thin and easily peelable. It is thermally and chemically stable, and also has excellent electrical insulation properties. Additionally, it is elastic and does not break even when peeled thinly in the plane direction, resulting in a flaky powder with a high aspect ratio when crushed. Yamagucci Mica provides mica powder products as functional materials to enhance the product value for various industrial fields such as plastics, paints, and rubber. 【Features】 ○ Yamaguchi-style wet grinding grade → Achieves high smoothness and particle shape with high aspect ratio in flakes ○ Media mill wet grinding grade → Optimal for mass production using media mill grinding machines ○ Dry grinding grade → Relatively inexpensive with no manufacturing processes such as dehydration and drying ○ Hybrid grinding fine particle grade → Ideal for applications requiring good appearance and addition in thin films For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
