Flexible Mica

Flexible MICA is a micanite entirely free of asbestos, which can be formed at room temperature. The material consists of micapaper impregnated with a heat resistant binder and polymerized by a heat treatment.

The micapaper used for producing flexible mica can either be mucsovite or phlogopite. The characteristics of these two materials are quite different. In fact, the most appropriate type of mica has to be chosen in order to obtain an optimum result in each application. Muscovite is harder, clearer in color and has a lower heat stability compared to phlogopite.

Properties

  • Retain intrinsic property up to 500 degrees C for Muscovite
  • Retain intrinsic property up to 700 degrees C for Phlogopite
  • Heat resistance is 800 degrees C and 1000 degrees C in intermittent service

  • Applications

    Electro-domestic appliances
    Sheathing or covering
    Separator or insulating foil
    Spring power

    Availabilities

    Sheet, rod, and molded
