用途:(岩石) (礦物)

磨碎的雲母用作油漆中的填料和增量劑,作為鑽井泥漿的添加劑,作為橡膠產品中的惰性填料和脫模劑,以及作為瀝青瓦和捲起屋頂上的不粘表面塗層。 它還用於測定火成岩的鉀 – 氬和氬 – 氬方法。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Application: (Rock) (Mineral)

It has a small extent of commercial use.

Ground mica is utilized as a filler and extender in paints, as an additive to drilling muds, as an inert filler and mold-release agent in rubber products, and as a non-stick surface coating on asphalt shingles and rolled roofing. It is additionally utilized in the potassium-argon and argon-argon methods of dating igneous rocks
