C-1000 MICA

C-1000 MICA is a high aspect ratio mineral product mined and processed in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. As a platy mineral, C-1000 MICA offers beneficial rheological properties and is chemically inert. It is specified for applications requiring reinforcement and where greater resistance to moisture, heat, light or chemicals is needed. C-1000 MICA substantially increases stiffness and heat resistance, while promoting dimensional stability and improving electrical insulation properties. These properties render C-1000 MICA excellent functional minerals for many advanced material applications. C-1000 MICA provides improved barrier properties, promotes adhesion, reduces cracking and checking. It is an effective release aid when used in combination with silicone.
