The market demand for mica paper is strong, but the industrial structure needs to be optimized

Mica paper is made of high-quality mica as raw material, which is broken into pulp paper through thermochemical or hydraulic peeling, and then cut into continuous roll paper or single-sheet paper. Mica paper is an important mica product, and its subdivided products include muscovite paper, raw mica paper, pink mica paper, phlogopite paper, synthetic fluorphlogopite paper, etc. Mica paper has excellent heat resistance and insulation properties, and is often used as electrical insulation material in wires, cables, motors and other fields.

Mica is a valuable mineral resource widely found in Asia, Africa, America and other regions. Mica has excellent high temperature resistance, insulation and corrosion resistance, and its downstream applications involve coatings, papermaking, cosmetics, wires and cables, aerospace, new building materials and other fields. According to the “2022-2026 my country Mica Paper Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, with the development of China’s economy, the demand for mica market has been increasing. By 2020, the size of my country’s mica market has grown to 4 billion yuan.

Mica in my country is mainly used to make mica paper and mica powder. Domestically, mica paper production capacity is mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangdong, Hubei and other regions. Related production companies include Hubei Zhongtian Mica Products, Hubei Pingan Electrical Materials, and Anhui Ruiguang Electronic Technology , Foshan Shunde District Maike Electrician, Jiangsu Yabao Insulation Materials, etc. There are many mica paper manufacturers in my country, but they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to the small scale of enterprises, weak financial strength and low innovation ability, the mica paper industry structure is unbalanced

The mica paper preparation process is mainly divided into mica pulp preparation and mica paper making, of which mica pulp preparation is the key link. The preparation methods of mica pulp mainly include calcined chemical pulping, hydraulic pulping, rubber roller crushing and ultrasonic crushing. The mica paper making process is similar to other types of paperboard manufacturing processes. In terms of papermaking equipment, mica paper papermaking machines mainly Mainly rotary wire paper machines and Fourdrinier wire paper machines.

Mica is a mineral resource. In recent years, due to over-exploitation, natural mica resources have become increasingly scarce, and the synthetic mica market has ushered in a good development opportunity. At present, natural mica is still the mainstream product in the market, but as demand changes, synthetic mica is expected to replace natural mica as the mainstream product in the market in 2025. According to different sources, mica paper can be divided into two categories: natural mica paper and synthetic mica paper. Synthetic mica paper in my country is mainly synthetic fluorphlogopite paper.

Industry analysts said that mica paper is an excellent electrical insulation material, mainly used in wires, cables and other fields. In recent years , with the development of my country’s economy, the market demand for mica paper is strong. There are many mica paper manufacturers in my country, but most of them are small in scale and their products are mostly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields. In the future, with the upgrade of market demand, the mica paper industry structure needs to be further optimized.
