How to Identify Phlogopite Mica?

As a Mica Factory, share with you. Mica includes artificial phlogopite (synthetic phlogopite) and natural phlogopite. Natural phlogopite has dark phlogopite and light phlogopite. Phlogopite is characterized by complete cleavage of mica, yellow-brown color and golden-like reflection. It is different from muscovite in that it can be decomposed in boiling sulfuric acid, and at the same time it produces a milky solution, but muscovite cannot. The general characteristics of phlogopite are the same as those of muscovite, which is mainly distinguished from other mica according to its brown color and pale golden color. The identification method of biotite similar to color is that its color is lighter than biotite. Tear the two into a thin slice and compare them on white paper. Phlogopite is pale yellowish brown, while biotite is grayish green or smokey. The exact identification of colorless or other color phlogopite requires the aid of a microscope. 

Phlogopite Mica

Phlogopite Mica is characterized by complete cleavage of mica, yellow-brown color and golden-like reflection. Phlogopite powder is different from muscovite in that it can be decomposed in boiling sulfuric acid and at the same time produce a kind of milky solution, but muscovite cannot. The general characteristics of phlogopite are the same as muscovite. Phlogopite powder is mainly distinguished from other mica according to its brown color and pale golden color. The identification method of biotite similar to color is that its color is lighter than biotite. Tear the two into a thin slice and compare them on white paper. Phlogopite is pale yellowish brown, while biotite is grayish green or smokey. The exact identification of colorless or other color phlogopite requires the aid of a microscope.

Phlogopite powder is widely used in the chemical industry such as building materials industry, fire protection industry, fire extinguishing agent, welding electrode, plastic, electrical insulation, papermaking, asphalt paper, rubber, pearlescent pigment and so on. Ultrafine phlogopite powder is used as functional fillers for plastics, paints, paints, rubbers, etc., which can improve its mechanical strength, enhance toughness, adhesion, anti-aging and corrosion resistance. Industry mainly uses its insulation and heat resistance, as well as acid resistance, alkali resistance, pressure resistance and stripping properties. Phlogopite powder is used as an insulating material for electrical equipment and electrical equipment.
