Mica sheet is used in a variety of tooling applications. These range from heat guns and electrical insulation in other tools to machined parts used in industrial tooling.
In this blog, we’ve recently looked at mica sheets and their uses. Now we want to tell you about the manufacturing process of mica sheets.
The natural cleavage qualities of mica in its mineral state make it ideally suited to production of mica sheets. This is where the mineral will break along smooth planes. Mica minerals have hexagonal atoms in sheet-like arrangements. Due to being hugely versatile, whether rigid or flexible, there are many mica sheet uses for a wide range of industries. …
