Industrial And Cosmetic Grade Mica Powder/ Sericite CAS 12001-26-2

Description:
Sericite is a fine-grained, platy form of Muscovite Mica. It is composed of thin, transparent to translucent flakes that have a pearly luster. Sericite is usually colorless or has a pale gray, silver, or white appearance.

Specification:

• Chemical formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
• CAS Number: 12001-26-2
• Appearance: Fine-grained flakes with a pearly luster
• Color: Colorless to pale gray, silver, or white
• Mohs hardness: 2.5-3.0
• Specific gravity: 2.7-3.0 g/cm3

Application:

1. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Sericite is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products, including foundations, powders, eyeshadows, and lipsticks. It acts as a filler or bulking agent, providing a smooth texture and enhancing the adhesion and spreadability of these products on the skin.

2. Paints and Coatings: It is used in paints, coatings, and specialty coatings to improve their durability, texture, and resistance to cracking and flaking. Sericite helps to enhance the film-forming properties and provides a smooth, non-reflective finish.

3. Plastics and Rubber: Sericite is added to plastic and rubber compounds to improve their strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat and chemicals. It acts as a reinforcing filler and can reduce the shrinkage and warping of plastic components.

4. Adhesives and Sealants: It is used as a filler in adhesives and sealants to improve their strength, cohesion, and adhesion properties. Sericite helps to create a smooth texture and prevent sagging or slumping of the adhesive or sealant.

5. Ceramic and Glass Industry: Sericite is utilized in the ceramic and glass industry as a fluxing agent. It helps to lower the melting point of ceramic and glass compositions and improve their workability during shaping and firing processes.

Features:

1. Lamellar Structure: Sericite has a unique lamellar structure, consisting of thin, parallel flakes. This structure imparts excellent slip and glide properties to products, making it ideal for cosmetics and personal care applications.

2. High Aspect Ratio: The high aspect ratio of Sericite flakes provides improved coverage and opacity in cosmetic formulations, allowing for better color development and coverage on the skin.

3. Natural and Non-Toxic: Sericite is a naturally occurring mineral and is considered non-toxic and safe for use in various applications.

4. Heat and Chemical Resistance: It exhibits good resistance to heat and chemicals, making it suitable for use in coatings, plastics, and adhesives that require durability and chemical stability.

5. Low Abrasiveness: Sericite has a low abrasiveness, making it gentle on the skin and suitable for use in cosmetic and personal care products.

 

 

Description:
Sericite mica is a naturally occurring mineral with a layered structure. It is characterized by its fine-grained and silky texture, giving it a lustrous appearance. Sericite mica is typically colorless or light silver-gray but can also have a pale yellow, pink, or greenish tint.

Specification:
The specifications of Sericite mica may vary depending on the specific source and intended application. Here are some general specifications:

• Chemical Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
• Mineral Composition: Muscovite (Potassium Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide)
• Particle Size: Typically ranges from 2 to 150 micrometers
• pH Value: Generally around 7-8 (neutral)
• Moisture Content: Typically less than 1%
• Specific Gravity: Approximately 2.7-3.0 g/cm³

Application:

1. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Sericite mica is widely used in the cosmetics and personal care industry. It is valued for its excellent skin adhesion, smooth texture, and light-reflecting properties. It can be found in various products such as foundations, powders, blushes, eye shadows, lipsticks, and skincare formulations.
2. Paints and Coatings: Sericite mica is utilized in paints and coatings to enhance their texture, opacity, and weather resistance. It can be incorporated into architectural coatings, automotive coatings, industrial coatings, and decorative paints.
3. Plastics and Rubber: Sericite mica is added to plastics and rubber formulations to improve their mechanical properties, reduce shrinkage, enhance scratch resistance, and provide a pearlescent or iridescent effect.
4. Adhesives and Sealants: It is used in adhesive and sealant formulations to improve their bonding strength, flexibility, and water resistance.
5. Ceramic Industry: Sericite mica finds application in the ceramic industry as a filler and extender, helping to enhance the properties of ceramic materials, such as strength, thermal stability, and resistance to cracking.

Features:

1. Lamellar Structure: Sericite mica has a unique layered structure, with individual sheets easily separable into thin, flexible flakes. This structure imparts its characteristic smoothness, sheen, and slipperiness.
2. Light Reflectivity: Sericite mica exhibits excellent light-reflecting properties, providing a subtle shimmer or pearlescent effect when used in cosmetics and other applications, enhancing their visual appeal.
3. Skin-Friendly: It is considered non-toxic and generally well-tolerated by the skin, making it suitable for use in various cosmetic and personal care products.
4. Insulating Properties: Sericite mica possesses good electrical insulation properties, making it useful in applications where electrical insulation is required.
5. Heat and Chemical Resistance: Sericite mica exhibits good resistance to heat, chemicals, and weathering, making it suitable for use in demanding environments.

Mica powder is a kind of non-metallic mineral, which contains a variety of components, mainly SiO 2, the content of which is generally about 49%, AlO 3 content is about 30%. Mica powder has good elasticity and toughness. It is an excellent additive because of its insulation, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and strong adhesion.

 

Details

Mica powder has the following functions in cosmetics:
(1) with good chemical stability, mica particles are fine, resistant to acid and alkali and aging, and have good shielding function for ultraviolet rays.
(2) as a natural mineral product, it has high chemical stability and is completely inert. Therefore, it is safe, non-toxic and harmless, and suitable for cosmetics.
(3) it can shield ultraviolet and infrared rays, so it is an excellent anti-ultraviolet agent for cosmetics.
(4) due to the small size and discontinuous coverage on the skin, the air permeability of the skin is not affected and the skin feels comfortable.
(5) water cannot penetrate mica and can inhibit the evaporation of skin moisture when used in moisturizing products. Therefore, the protective layer can delay moisture evaporation and improve skin moisturization.

Purpose

Mica powder is a good filler for cosmetics, such as cream, cream and powder, because of its delicate lubrication, elasticity, high whiteness, suitable luster, uniform mixing with water and glycerin, and dispersing state. Because of its pearlescent effect, it is also widely used in nail polish, morning cream, eye ointment and other products.
