Mica Powder
Mica powder is produced by finely grinding mica scrap through specialized crushing and milling processes. There are two common methods of production: wet grinding and dry grinding.
The dry grinding process is widely used to obtain uniform, high-quality grains. With modern rotary and vibratory sieves, mica powder can be supplied in particle sizes up to 325 mesh, and can also be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
Packaging
Mica powder is packed in strong laminated plastic or paper bags for safe storage and transport. Customized packaging options are available as per buyer requirements.
