Micanite
Insulac Micanite are produced from natural muscovite mica splitting’s bonded with a thermoplastic resins shellac, or alkyd-vinyl by applying adequate heat and pressure.
Micanite sheets are rigid at room temperature but soften when heated at temperature between 100° C to 140° C and could easily be molded into practically any shape upon the application of either hot or cold process. With further cure, the sheets form into rigid wellbonded structure retaining the shape of their molded forms. Molding sheets bonded with shellac provides optimum moldability having excellent overall properties and have been traditionally most popular, while alkyd-vinyl bonded sheets offer toughness and durability under severe mechanical stress applications.
