General Characteristics & Applications of Mica sheets

Image
Axim Mica offers different types of products composed of 90% mica in the forms of muscovite mica or phlogopite mica (magnesium silico-aluminate). Mica refers to a family of minerals characterized by its flake-like structure. Its thermal and dielectric properties, particularly, make it suitable for many applications, up to 1,000°C. Easy to machine and bond, it is an easy-to-use high-temperature solution. Mica manufacturing Mica is mined from natural deposits. Although fragmented or powdered mica is more common, only  Mica sheets  are of sufficient quality to produce effective products at high temperatures. Among the wide varieties of mica, two are used in high-temperature environments: phlogopite mica, whose magnesium content gives it a tint ranging from brown to green, and muscovite mica, which is more concentrated in aluminum, hence giving it a whitish color.   General characteristics of mica  Health and security Nontoxic Storage as a non-hazardous ...

A Short Guide on Mica Sheets Its Types and Formation

Mica blankets are used to protect your car battery from harsh weather.   Why use mica for EV battery insulation? There are many materials available for car battery insulation, but mica is the most preferred due to the following reasons: Mica has amazing thermal stability. It is stable up to high temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius. It can prevent thermal runaway. Mica thermal spacers ensure a safe connection between the cells.      Mica has amazing dielectric capabilities. It has a ...

What is the role of safety certifications of mica sheets in the industry?

Image
Mica sheets are used in various industries for thermal and electrical insulation applications. They are used at high operating temperatures up to 1600 degree cel sius and in high voltage environments. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that mica sheets are safe for use. That’s where the role of  mica sheets  comes into play. The certifications are gained by rigorously testing the product under controlled conditions. Regarding mica sheets, the UL rating is the global industrial safety standard.  Other region-specific fire resistance classifications, such as BS 479 (class 1) and NBN 21-203 (A1), are also used to approve thermal and electrical insulation products. In this post, we will focus on the UL-rating of mica sheets. What are UL standards for safety? UL is a global safety certification company that certifies a wide range of products used in both industrial and commercial applications. If a product is listed or UL certified, the product is globally accepte...
