Sericite Powder SiO2-Al2O3 Description
Sericite belongs to monoclinic crystals, the crystals are scaly, and the crystal aggregates are massive with silky luster. It has good dispersion and suspension in aqueous media and organic solvents, fine white particles, hardly soluble in acid and alkali solutions, stable chemical properties, and effectively improves the permeability, weather resistance, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating film.

Sericite Powder SiO2-Al2O3 FAQs
Q1: What is Sericite Powder?
Sericite Powder is a fine-grained mica, a silicate mineral belonging to the muscovite group. It is used in various industrial applications, particularly in cosmetics, coatings, plastics, and ceramics due to its softness, smoothness, and reflective properties.
Q2: What is the difference between Sericite Powder and Mica Powder?
While both are part of the mica group, sericite has smaller, finer particles compared to standard mica powder. Sericite is preferred for applications requiring smoother textures, such as in high-end cosmetics, whereas mica is more commonly used for its shimmer and flake-like properties.
Q3: What particle sizes are available for Sericite Powder?
Sericite Powder is typically available in particle sizes ranging from sub-micron to several microns, depending on the requirements of the application. Finer particles are often used in cosmetics, while larger sizes are used in coatings and industrial applications.
