Phlogopite vs Muscovite: Which Mica Material Suits Your Gaskets?

Mica gaskets rely on the layered, silicate structure of muscovite and phlogopite. Both are phyllosilicate minerals that cleave into thin, flexible sheets. Muscovite mica is typically white to colorless and quite brittle, while phlogopite mica is brownish or greenish and notably more flexible. This basal cleavage gives both materials excellent insul

What Makes Mica Parts Ideal for Aerospace and Automotive Use?

Mica – a family of layered silicate minerals (notably muscovite and phlogopite) – excels where extreme heat and electricity coincide. Its unique crystal structure gives Mica an extremely high thermal resistance and superior dielectric (electrical insulating) strength. For example, muscovite Mica sustains continuous use up to ~500–700°C, whil
