	Mica: strength and sheen. Paint & Coatings Industry ; Micas are sheet silicates, historically significant for their ability to be split into large, thin sheets that are uniquely useful for their electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. They have high electrical and thermal insulating properties, are resistant to chemical attack, can be split
