Mica is chemically a potassium Aluminium silicate.It is described as faster dispersion,weather resistant,high degree insulation and aberration resistant.

Muscovite is the most common form of mica. Its name is derived from “Muscovy Glass”, which describes thick sheets of transparent mica that were once used as a glass substitute in Russia. Because of Muscovite’s abundance, its presence is usually lacking in collections except for it being an accessory mineral to other minerals. However, there are certain interesting formations and colors which are very aesthetic, and those forms are well-represented in collections. Muscovite can come in enormous crystal groupings that can weigh several hundred pounds. Thin sheets can be peeled off as layers, and the thinner a layer is peeled the greater its transparency becomes.

Dry Ground Mica have low free silica content.They are whiter than most of the competitive dry processed products and comparable to some of the wet processed products of same particle size from producers in the USA. Dry Ground Mica Powder adopt dry impact technology to produce high purity white mica powder will not change any natural properties of mica;Whole closed production filling ensures high quality of Mica and Unique Classification Screening process patented technology to ensure high quality stability and uniform powder particles size distribution.

Our mica powder has good elasticity and toughness.Insulation,high temperature resistant,acid and alkali resistance,corrision resistance and adhesion properties.

High Functional Fillers-Cenosphere Fly Ash

Aluminosilicate microspheres (cenospheres light fraction of fly ash, bottom ash microspheres , microspheres energy ashes) are hollow beads with a size range of 20-500 microns (most often, 100 – 250 microns) and a by-product of coal burning power plants.

Compared to irregular-shaped and partially-spherical fillers, the 100% spherical shape of Ceramic Microspheres, provides improved processing and performance.Being inert it is not affected by solvents, water, acids or alkalis. They are 75% lighter than other minerals currently used as a filler or extender.

The unique combination of qualities of this product as an almost ideal spherical shape, low bulk density, high mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical inertness, provided a wide range of applications as below:

1.Construction:ultra-light concrete, insulating plaster and masonry mortars, and other types of dry mixes, heat and sound insulation cover at the device roofing and facade structures, floors, as well as the preparation of thermal insulation for floors.

2.Paints Coating: Cenospheres are special additives that both chemists and formulators in the paints and coatings industry are using to enhance their products. A sphere has the lowest surface area of any shape.As a result, these hollow ceramic microspheres reduce resin demand and increase volume loading capacity.

3.Oil Field: oil well cements, drilling muds, grinding materials, explosives.

 Cenospheres have been used in oilfield cementing for quite some time. During a cementing job, Cenospheres act to decrease the slurry density without increasing the water content. This in turn provides better compressive strength to the cement.

4.Ceramics: Refractories, Castables, Tile, Fire Bricks, Aluminium Cement, Insulating materials, Coatings.
5.Plastics: Cenospheres are an excellent lightweight filler for plastics and continue to grow in popularity and use. Not only do they reduce the cost of the composite but Cenospheres often impart performance improvements that might otherwise not have been achieved. It is used in all types of Moulding, Nylon, Low Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene.

6.Automotive: composites, engine parts, sound proofing materials, undercoatings.

Horticultural Growing Medium

Horticultural Clay Pebbles is a perfect choice for growing strong, healthy plants. They’re 100 percent clay, which fosters premium aeration and drainage, as well as excellent pH and EC stability. The pebbles are also pre-washed, to ensure better stability.

Expanded clay is a popular medium for both aquaponic and hydroponic gardening around the world. It provides stability and the pebble has an ideal surface for roots and beneficial bacteria. The porous structure has a high water capacity and is suitable for both flood & drain and top irrigation systems.

Perlite and Vermiculite for Seed Sowing

Both horticultural grade perlite and exfoliated vermiculite are used in gardening, especially seed sowing. They are both light, inert, non-organic (not derived from a living organism) substances that are good for maintaining aeration in the soil by maintaining space between the soil particles.

Perlite is whitish in colour and appears crumb like because of the bubbly structure inside. Perlite absorbs considerable water into the tiny bubble holes, nooks and crannies throughout. However, this water is not retained very well. It tends to drain out quite quickly.

Perlite is best for plants that need well drained soil as because of its irregular surface shape it does help aerate the soil.

Horticultural Vermiculite is the best choice for seed production.

When added to soil, it holds moisture and reduces the need for watering.

Vermiculite acts like a sponge, holding moisture close to the roots of the plants.

The horticultural exfoliated vermiculite is also able to absorb (soak up) excess water away from plants, this can help prevent mildew.

Vermiculite can be incorporated into the seed sowing compost, in addition it can be used for seed covering and some have used it solely as a seed growing medium,it can also be used as seed covering material,especially if the seeds require light to germinate.
