Buy low price high quality Synthetic Mica Tape for Insulation.
Synthetic Mica Tape is a high-performance, fire-resistant insulating tape made from synthetic mica paper—usually fluorophlogopite mica—combined with high-temperature-resistant binders (like silicone resin) and reinforced with glass cloth or other backing materials.
It's designed for extreme environments where natural mica (phlogopite or muscovite) might degrade, making it ideal for aerospace, nuclear, and military-grade applications.
Synthetic mica roll is made of high-quality phlogopite paper or synthetic mica paper, reinforced with glass fiber cloth or ceramic fiber, bonded with silicone resin, baked and dried at high temperature. mica rolls can be made into various two-dimensional plane shapes according to customer needs, the product is used in new energy vehicles, ships, chemicals, metallurgy and other industries.
What is Synthetic Mica?
Chemically known as Fluorophlogopite Mica (KMg₃(AlSi₃O₁₀)F₂)
Lab-made: offers fewer impurities, better consistency, and superior heat resistance
Structurally similar to phlogopite but more stable at high temps
Key Features of Synthetic Mica Tape:
| Property | Typical Value / Description |
|---|---|
| Max Temperature | 🔥 Up to 1300°C |
| Dielectric Strength | > 25 kV/mm |
| Backing Material | Glass fiber or aramid fabric |
| Fire Resistance | IEC 60331, BS 6387 compliant |
| Smoke/Halogen | Zero-halogen, low smoke |
| Flexibility | Moderate (not as flexible as phlogopite) |
| Thickness | 0.08–2.00 mm typical |
Applications:
Nuclear power cables
Aerospace and aviation wiring
Military-grade armored cables
Extreme temperature motors
Advanced electronics and scientific instruments
Advantages:
Superior thermal resistance: Best in class
Chemical stability: Resists acids, alkalis, and radiation
Long-term reliability in harsh environments
Less impurities than natural mica
Use Case Breakdown:
| Feature | Phlogopite | Muscovite | Synthetic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temp Resistance | 🔥 Up to 1200°C | 🔥 Up to 1000°C | 🔥🔥 Up to 1300°C+ |
| Flexibility | ✅ Very Good | ✅ Good | ⚠️ Rigid/Brittle (depends on binder) |
| Cost | 💰 Moderate | 💰 Lower | 💰💰💰 High |
| Sales Volume (Market) | 📈 Highest | 📈 High | 📉 Niche |
| Main Use | Fire survival cables | Electric motors/cables | Aerospace/nuclear/defense |
Conclusion:
If you’re in the cable or electrical insulation business, Phlogopite Mica Tape is the most commercially successful and fast-moving due to its balance of cost, performance, and broad application.
Muscovite is a budget-friendly choice where ultra-high temp isn't required.
Synthetic is best for premium or critical industries, but less common and more expensive.
