Mica is a group of silicate minerals which are physically and chemically similar. They are also known as sheet silicates because they are formed in different layers. Mica’s are quite light and soft and the sheets made of mica are flexible.
Properties of MICA
- Heat Resistant
- Insulator
- High Strength And Endurance
