What Are the Common Uses of Mica Sheets?

Image
Mica sheets are one of the most versatile, widely-used forms of processed mica for industrial insulation applications. Mica sheets are used in almost every industry. The amazing physical and chemical properties of the mica sheets make it an ideal material for insulation.   Mica sheets are of types: rigid mica sheets and flexible mica sheets. The thickness of rigid mica sheets varies from 0.10mm to 50mm and flexible mica sheets from 0.10 to 2mm, making it extremely adaptable for a diverse range of applications in a variety of industries. Have a look at the common uses of mica sheets.     Commons Uses of Mica Sheets     Mica sheets are used for a variety of industrial insulation applications due to their amazing properties such as good resistance to high temperatures & chemicals, low heat conductivity, high dielectric strength, good high-voltage proof performance, and excellent fire resistance characteristics.   Mica sheets are used for h...

Uses of Mica Insulation in the Foundry and Steel Industry

Image
The foundry industry has played a key role in the growth of human civilization right from the very beginning. Foundries are the places where metals are cast into the desired products by melting them into a liquid, pouring them into molds, and removing the mold material once the metal solidifies.   The process seems simple but the modern-day foundry industry requires temperatures in the range of 1600 degrees Celsius to melt the metal in furnaces. Thus, furnaces require insulation that can withstand such high temperatures. That is what high-temperature mica insulation is all about.   Not just that, nowadays, furnaces use electricity as fuel. It needs electrical insulation also. Mica works as an ideal material for insulation due to its capacity to withstand high temperatures and exceptional dielectric capability.   Here are the common uses of mica in the foundry and steel industry:   Inner lining of the furnace     Mica combined with other e...
