Mica Flakes

Mica Flakes are manufactured from mica scrap which is ground into sizes ranging from 2 mesh to 30 mesh. We prepare this material mainly by the means of rotary hammer crushing machine in which the mica is beaten till such time that the required size is not achieved and the material passes out from graded sieves. There are three grades (Coarse, Medium & Fine) of MICA FLAKES which are normally used for specific purposes: Oil well Drilling:- Mica is used as a mud additive in drilling fluids to prevent loss of circulation and as a sealant. Mica is a good sealant because the sheet particles overlap each other sticking to the side of hole and creating a sealed wall. This helps to keep circulation in the hole. Pealcent pigments:- Mica Flakes is indispensably used in the manufacturing of pearlescent pigments (pearl luster pigments) which consists of natural mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide and/or iron oxide. It possesses high reflective and refractive index imparting natural pearl-like luster and magical gloss with abundant fascinating colours and enticing appearance. Pearlescent pigments are applied to numerous industries like paint, plastic, coating, printing ink, leather, cosmetic, dyeing, ceramic, rubber and paper.
