There are swelling types that swell by absorbing water molecules into the crystals, and non-swelling types.
Please refer to the table below for the basic properties of synthetic mica.
- Swelling type
The primary particles are large and have a high aspect ratio, making it easy to impart high gas barrier properties.
- Non-swelling type
It has the advantage of being more heat resistant than natural products.
Examples of use: sliding agents, resin additives, etc.
