Laminated Mica Products

Laminated Mica or Mica products are employed in electrical engineering already since the turn of the century. Micanite is the name given to sheet material which is made up of fine mica lamellae, called "splittings", bonded together by a variety of bonding agents such as Shellac, epoxy, alkyd or silicone, in order to obtain particular characteristics for specific uses. Variations can be made in the method of manufacture, the types of Mica, and the type of quantity of bonding material used to form thick or thin, stiff or flexible products in the form of sheets, webs or ribbons and also moulded articles.
