Dev Mica

MICA is pigment extender in various paints and coatings & regarded tough, flexible and transparent. Mica platelets form a tough shield that improves paint integrity and durability. Mica acts as a reinforcing pigment to reduce cracking, peeling and checking in the dry film and prevents shrinkage and sheering of the paint.

Mica particles brighten the tone of the coloured pigments, at the same time, transmit and reflect light resulting in proven decorative effects and design. It increases the gloss of paint.

Mica resists actions of light, heat, temperature, electricity, water, acids, and alkalis, as well as, it reduces hydrolytic and electric action within paint film. Mica also imparts resistance to penetration of destructive sun-rays, moisture, atmospheric gases and decreases blistering and staining from the substracts. It prevents degradation of paint films by ultra-violet (UV) radiation, absorb UV rays and improve paint durability by retarding the oxidation process.

Mica is also compatible with all pigments and has high specific gravity.

Mica is widely used in Aluminum, automotive, anti corrosive, cement, emulsion, synthetic, water, fire resistant, marine, road marking, textured, traffic paints.
