Biotite Mica acts as a high-efficiency thickening agent in drilling muds, improving viscosity and stability. Its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures ensures the drill bit is cooled and rock cuttings are carried to the surface safely.
When incorporated into pulp, it enhances structural integrity, durability, and wear resistance. Additionally, its natural luster provides a smooth, glossy finish ideal for luxury packaging and artistic papers.
Yes, it is highly popular in non-woven fabrics for masks. It is first made into a masterbatch, then combined with antibacterial materials to provide deodorizing and far-infrared ray functions.
We offer a wide range of specifications, including 4-6, 10-20, 40-60, 325, 600, 1000, and up to 3000 mesh to suit various industrial needs.
Our factories are ISO certified, and we hold 23 national patents for our production technologies, ensuring a high-quality and consistent supply.
Beyond drilling and paper, it is widely used in ceramics, cosmetics, paints, rubber, plastics, and automotive coatings due to its heat resistance and insulating properties.
