Description

Mica has an estimable electrical, physical, mechanical and thermal pertinacity properties. It has high transparency, optical clarity, flatness, non-breakability and heat resistance. As such, it is suitably used as windows in Kerosene stove, Wood stoves, Furnace peep-holes and microwave ovens.

Mica eliminates risk of cracks, breakage, jerks and can easily withstand shocks, strains and vibration during operations at higher temperatures and prevent grassing. Mica also provide complete safety, versatility, durability and reliability and retain its basic strength.

Mica sheet can be expose to high temperature up to ~ 540 °C (~1000F)

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
