Mica belongs to a large group of minerals characterized by perfect cleavage, i.e. the ability to split into very thin sheets having smooth surfaces. Muscovite and phlogopite are the most important industrial micas. They are easily split into thin sheets. In addition, they have high hardness and mechanical strength. They are thermally and chemically stable, non-hygroscopic, flexible, elastic and transparent. Due to these properties, muscovite and phlogopite are the most important composite materials used for producing electrical insulating materials.
