Natural phlogopite can be divided into dark phlogopite (brown or green in various colors) and light phlogopite (light yellow in various colors). Light phlogopite is transparent and has glass luster; Dark phlogopite is translucent, glass luster to semi-metallic luster, and cleavage surface is pearly luster. The sheet is elastic. Hardness 2-3. The specific gravity is 2.70 - 2.85. Not conductive.

Muscovite phlogopite and synthetic phlogopite

Natural phlogopite can be divided into dark phlogopite (brown or green in various colors) and light phlogopite (light yellow in various colors). Light phlogopite is transparent and has glass luster; Dark phlogopite is translucent, glass luster to semi-metallic luster, and cleavage surface is pearly luster. The sheet is elastic. Hardness 2-3. The specific gravity is 2.70 - 2.85. Not conductive. Colorless or brownish yellow under microscope transmission light. The main properties of phlogopite are slightly inferior to muscovite, but it has high heat resistance and is a good heat-resistant insulating material.
Muscovite is the most widely used in industry, followed by phlogopite. It is widely used in building materials industry, fire protection industry, fire extinguishing agent, welding electrode, plastic, electrical insulation, paper, asphalt paper, rubber, pearlescent pigment and other chemical industries. Ultra fine mica powder can be used as functional filler for plastics, coatings, paints, rubber, etc., to improve its mechanical strength, enhance its toughness, adhesion, anti-aging and corrosion resistance.
Main product specifications: 10, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, 325, etc.
