Mica for the Electrical Industry
Mica plays a central role in the electrical industry, especially in applications that require high pressure and temperature resistance. Due to its excellent insulating properties and clarity, mica is often used as a substitute for glass to ensure safe and efficient solutions in electrical systems. Our mica products are manufactured according to individual customer specifications and undergo strict quality controls to ensure key properties such as light transmission and minimum thickness.
Shape, thickness, hole pattern, and quality tailored to customer specifications.
The following quality features are ensured through internal quality monitoring:
- Light transmission
- Clarity
- Minimum thickness of individual discs/packages
High-Quality Mica for the Electrical Industry | For Insulation and Other Uses
Mica is indispensable for the electrical industry, for example, for insulation, due to its unique properties. The material, which is mined, is heat and acid-resistant. High-quality mica for the electrical industry is colorless, with muscovite sometimes appearing ruby-red, while phlogopite has an amber appearance.
Applications of Mica
As an insulating material, mica has special properties that make it one of the most effective materials for insulation. Its mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties are crucial for its use in the electrical industry. Particularly important is its thermal insulation. As early as the 1920s, mica was used in capacitors, which are still found in electrical devices today. Another key feature is that mica capacitors do not reduce the frequency of an electronic device, making the material ideal for high-frequency devices.
Furthermore, mica plates are used as sight windows in fittings. Acidic liquids cannot penetrate the material, and fittings can be used under strong UV radiation, as the material is resistant and dissipates heat. Due to its heat-dissipating capability, mica in disc form is suitable for transistors. The material can be split down to a thickness of 0.01 mm and combined with other materials. Additionally, mica plates serve as insulation for the housing of electrical components, such as in microwaves. These are just a few examples of where mica is used in the electrical industry.
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the electrical industry. Mica now replaces other materials like asbestos to produce high-quality and safe electrical installations and devices for household use. This cannot be guaranteed for all manufacturers, as many low-cost electrical devices rely on cheaper alternative materials. It's important to note that mica is a natural product that is not available everywhere.
Projects with Mica for the Electrical Industry
Our team brings your projects in the electrical industry to life. We support your plans for the production of high-quality electronics or individual electronic components for industrial machinery or the automotive industry with our expertise. In terms of insulation and other areas where mica is used, such as in environments exposed to pressure or high temperatures, electrical devices are subject to one or more stresses. The use of mica for insulation serves to protect electronic components and ensure the safety of operators of electrical devices.
Through our internal quality checks, which we carry out regularly, you receive a high-quality product in the form of mica discs in various sizes. To realize specific projects, we manufacture mica discs according to your needs, providing you with a custom-made product. Quality assurance not only covers the manufacturing process of the mica products but starts with monitoring the origin of the material. We work exclusively with partners who guarantee the fair extraction of mica.
