Mica is a type of mineral, mainly composed of an element called silicon contained in crystals. In crystals, tetrahedra composed of silicon and oxygen form a sheet, and have various interesting properties because of this structure.
In 1972, we began working on the application development of synthetic mica, and in 1987 we succeeded in the practical application of high-quality synthetic mica, which is a raw material for cosmetics.
Unlike naturally occurring synthetic mica is manufactured from highly pure raw materials and has the following features.
- Safe without containing impurities such as heavy metals
- No dullness in color compared to natural products
- Since the hydroxyl group (OH) is replaced with fluorine (F), it can be used at higher temperatures.
Currently, we are melting and fusing fluorine phlogopite. Mica obtained by synthesis does not contain impurities and becomes colorless and transparent crystals. In order to impart high functionality to these crystals, they are pulverized, surface treated, and combined with organic substances, and Topy mica is used in a wide range of fields.
