MICA
Mica is a group of naturally occurring minerals that belong to the silicate family, specifically known for their excellent physical properties such as flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to heat. Mica is widely used in a variety of industrial applications due to its unique characteristics, including its ability to split into thin, flexible sheets.

Features of Mica –
• Electrical Insulation: High dielectric strength, low conductivity.
• Thermal Resistance: Withstands high temperatures without degradation.
Flexibility: Thin, durable, and flexible sheets or flakes.
• Chemical Stability: Resistant to most chemicals and corrosive substances.
• Optical Clarity: Transparency and refractive properties used in optical applications.
• Low Thermal Conductivity: Effective heat barrier.
• Lightweight and Strong: High strength-to-weight ratio.
• Easily Cleavable: Perfect cleavage for thin, versatile sheets.
• Abundant and Cost-Effective: Widely available and economical.
• Non-Toxic and Safe: Used safely in cosmetics and other consumer products.
