Phlogopite mica has long been the material of choice for dimensional stability, increased stiffness and improved heat distortion temperature of plastic composites used in automotive applications. Well recognized for its reinforcing and barrier properties, as well as its chemical inertness, Phlogopite mica is also used as a sound and vibration-damping additive in polymeric and asphalt based coatings for under-the-carpet automotive applications.
Because of its distinct thermal stability advantage over competitive materials, Phlogopite mica is used to impart rigidity in technological and high-temperature plastic applications, improving the physical properties of polypropylene, polyethylene, PBT, PET, PPO and nylon composites.
Lab studies show improvements in key performance properties including elasticity, rupture and water resistance. These benefits can be expanded into other resin-based composites such as polypropylene, PVC, ABS and their recycles.
Phlogopite Mica is used as a partial or complete substitute for asbestos in fire retardation. It is also used in friction materials, oil well drilling needs, caulking and molding compounds, coatings, plasters and plastics.
