Description
Conductive mica powder is a type of material that has been modified to become conductive. Mica is a naturally occurring group of silicate minerals known for their perfect basal cleavage. These minerals can be ground into fine powders and are often used in numerous industries due to their high thermal stability, electrical insulating properties, and resistance to weathering.
In its natural state, mica is an insulator, not a conductor. However, when coated with a conductive material such as metal oxides (like silver or aluminum), it can become conductive, resulting in conductive mica powder. The degree of conductivity can vary depending on the type and amount of conductive coating applied.
Conductive mica powder is used in a variety of applications. Due to its conductivity, it can be utilized in the electronics industry in applications such as EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding, conductive coatings, and conductive adhesives. Additionally, it retains the properties of regular mica, making it heat-resistant, chemically stable, and excellent in providing mechanical strength and durability. These features make it a sought-after material in various industries.
