Mica powder

About Mica powder

Mica powder is an alkali metal compound carrying the CAS registry number 12001-26-2. Formula Al6F2H2K2O22Si6, molecular weight 800.6 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is hexaaluminum. Dipotassium. Hexakis(dioxosilane). Nonakis(oxygen(2-)). Difluoride. Hydrate. Common synonyms include Muscovite mica and Zimmwaldite.

The material typically appears as a white to light yellow powder. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry area. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

Typical applications include cosmetics and personal care and materials research. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research.

We offer Mica powder in 500 g, 5 kg and 25 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide. SDS and detailed specification sheets can be requested with your quotation. Larger quantities and custom packaging are available. Request a quote for pricing and lead time.
