How Can Mica Tubes Help With Electrical Insulation - Axim Mica

Image
Mica has the potential to be used in a wide range of products and solutions because of its versatility. It can be molded and processed into a variety of forms and sizes for various uses in large-scale furnaces, consumer goods, and other industries. One of the most popular mica products that are widely used in industries is  mica tube . These are made of muscovite grade & phlogopite mica and ensure outstanding electric insulation and high heat resistance properties. In this blog post, we’ll learn more about mica tubes and understand their importance – Understanding Mica Tubes  Mica tubes are lightweight, durable, and combine electrical and mechanical strength. They are rigid but adaptable and available in a range of lengths, diameters, and thicknesses. As a result, it is easy and beneficial to use them for various industrial applications. Here we are sharing more about the three uses of mica tubes for electrical insulation.    ·      ...

Mica Sheets: How They are Made and Their Applications | Axim Mica

Mica minerals come under the subcategory of minerals that have the physical characteristics of breaking the individual mineral into very thin elastic plates. This characteristic of forming very thin elastic plates is termed perfect basal cleavage. These natural cleavage characteristics state that mica is highly suitable for forming mica sheets , where the mica breaks along smooth planes. Mica sheets have many applications and thus are used in a wide range of industries. These sheets are highly versatile in nature. How composite mica sheets are made The formation of composite mica sheets involves mixing mica with other materials. This procedure not only increases its natural strength but also enhances its adaptability. Micro-pulverizing equipment can be used to pulverize the mica into small particles. After that, to suspend these particles, they are mixed with water and a colloid substance. Once this process is completed, they are then put in a mesh mold, and the viscosity of the ...

5 Mica Properties You Should Know About |Axim Mica

Image
You must have heard of the rare mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties of mica which make it a popular choice for various industries. It is a naturally occurring group of minerals with 37 different varieties. If you want to learn more about  mica industrial insulation products   and their properties, you are at the right place. Continue reading this blog post to learn about the top mica properties.  Thermal Stability One of the best properties of mica is that it is stable in a high-temperature environment. Also, there are two types of mica sheets that are used for industrial insulation – muscovite mica sheets and phlogopite mica sheets. When it comes to thermal insulation capability, phlogopite mica sheets are a better choice as their capability is better than muscovite sheets. Generally, natural mica sheets remain stable up to 1000°C temperature, and built-up mica sheets up to 1600 °C temperature. Lightweight  Mica is lightweight and relat...

Mica: A Detailed Explanation of How it is Used for High-Voltage Applications

Image
High voltage usage demands a specialized and stable material for the process of insulation. High voltages can compromise a complete circuit and the safety of users and operators if not handled properly. Hence a stable material is necessary for suitable high-voltage electric insulation. There are numerous high-voltage applications where mica is used. Let’s take a look at them and a couple of examples of how mica is used. The electrical properties of mica Mica holds superior electrical properties in comparison to other common electrical insulation materials . Mica has the capacity to withstand up to 2000 kilovolts per mm of material before breaking down. It also has the capacity to withstand high temperatures. Pure mica has the ability to withstand up to 900°C, and when it gets laminated with other materials can even withstand up to 1600°C. Additionally, mica also has a high rate of permitivity. High voltage applications of mica The physical and electrical properties of...
