There are over 30 different types of mica in the mica group of minerals. However, there are a few that have a very common rate of occurrence – making up a high percentage of minerals in the Earth’s rocks. Muscovite and phlogopite mica are among the most commonly occurring micas.
Mica is a naturally
occurring mineral and there are 37 varieties. However, the two we work with are
phlogopite, or green, and muscovite, or white, mica.
These two forms of mica
come in sheet form, in
two grades, MFSSP (phlogopite) and MFSSM (muscovite). Each of these two forms
of mica has qualities that make it suitable for different applications, used by
a broad range of industries.
Our phlogopite and
muscovite mica sheets are available in flexible or rigid grades, depending on
their required use.
