Mica – High Performance Insulating Mineral
Used in Electronics, Paints, Plastics, Cosmetics & Industrial Applications
Premium Mica for Electrical and Thermal Insulation
Mica is a naturally occurring mineral known for its excellent electrical insulation properties, high thermal resistance, and unique layered structure. Because of its ability to withstand high temperatures while maintaining structural stability, mica has become an essential material in many industrial applications.
The mineral is widely used in electrical equipment, paints, coatings, plastics, cosmetics, and construction materials. Its flexibility and resistance to heat make it particularly valuable in electrical insulation systems and high temperature industrial processes.
Our mica products are carefully processed to maintain their natural structure and deliver consistent performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

Versatility Across Industries
| Industry | Primary Use | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Anti-Corrosive Pigment | Prevents “checking” and cracking; creates a moisture barrier. |
| Plastics & Auto | Reinforcing Filler | Increases stiffness and reduces “warping” in molded parts. |
| Cosmetics | Pearlescent Base | Provides a natural “glow” and silkiness in powders and lipsticks. |
| Electrical | Insulation Sheets | High dielectric strength for capacitors and heating elements. |
| Construction | Joint Compounds | Improves workability and crack resistance in plasters. |
Applications
Why Choose Asteroid Microns Mica?
- High Aspect Ratio: Our milling process is carefully calibrated to ensure flakes stay thin and wide rather than being crushed into grit, maximizing reinforcement.
- UV & Weather Shield: Our mica acts as a natural UV filter, protecting the binder in exterior paints from degradation and chalking.
- Asbestos-Free Guarantee: We ensure 100% purity through rigorous testing, making our mica safe for cosmetic and household applications.
- Custom Gradation: From 20-mesh coarse flakes for oil-well “Loss of Circulation” to ultra-fine 1000-mesh for high-end coatings.
