Phlogopite and Muscovite Mica are the only two mica minerals that are used commercially.

Phlogopite

Phlogopite is a common form of mica,and it is usually distinguished by its brownish-red color. Phlogopite, like the other important mica’s, can come in very large crystal sheets. Thin sheets can be peeled off as layers, and thin layers maintain an interesting metallic-looking transparency.

Physical Properties of Phlogopite

Phlogopite has a few physical properties that can help you identify it. The first is a yellow to brown to reddish brown color. Next, as a mica, phlogopite easily splits into thin sheets that are transparent, flexible, and tough.

Phlogopite crystals can be tabular with a pseudohexagonal shape, or they can be barrel-shaped prisms with a pseudohexagonal cross-section. Although phlogopite is a monoclinic mineral, the c-axis is so gently inclined that it would be easy to think that phlogopite is hexagonal.

Phlogopite has many properties that make it valuable in manufacturing. It can be cleaved into thin sheets that can serve as electronics boards. These are stiff but flexible, and they can easily be cut to shape, punched, or drilled. Phlogopite is heat resistant, does not transmit electricity, and is a poor conductor of heat.

Applications of Phlogopite

Phlogopite is used less often than muscovite because it is less available and because its brown color is undesirable for some uses. Mostly used for Insulant,mica paer,mica tape,plastics,corrosion protection,fireproof coating.

Calcined Mica

Our Calcined mica flakes and calcined mica powder adopt the high temperature dehydration process. It is in brilliant color and good quality. It is the best choice for special welding material,general building materials and electrical insulators.
