What is Mica
Mica is a naturally occurring mineral, based on a
group of silicate minerals composed of varying
amounts of aluminum, potassium, magnesium, iron
and water having thin sheet-like or plate-like
structure with different composition and physical
properties.

Muscovite Mica

• Greater dielectric strength
• Insensitive to atmospheric weathering
• Greater resistance to outside chemical influence.
  
• It is harder than Phlogopite Mica
• Commonly used Mica in electrical insulation
• Dielectric strength, thermal endurance,
  mechanical strength, moisture resistance,
  transparency, flexibility, resilience, toughness
  and perfection of cleavage and is therefore
  recognized as the best Mica for electrical and
  electronics devices.

Phlogopite Mica

• Phlogopite Mica is commonly called amber Mica
• Varies in color from light silver to dark brown
• Phlogopite Mica is softer than Muscovite Mica
• Makes it more suitable for the manufacture of
  commutator Micanite used in commutators of flush
  running designs.
• Phlogopite Mica has poor electrical properties
  and chemical resistance
