WHAT IS A MICA WASHER?
A mica washer is a flat-disc like component made from mica. Unique among insulation materials, mica gives our washers exceptional chemical, physical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties in ways that no other product can match:
- Thermal Resistance: maintains structural integrity under extreme heat
- Electrical Insulation: prevents current leakage in electrical assemblies
- Dimensional Stability: Preserve shape and specifications under pressure
- Chemical Inertness: resist degradation from harsh substances
- Mechanical Strength: withstands high compression loads
APPLICATIONS
Mica washers have use in a variety of equipment and manufacturing processes.
Industrial Equipment
High temperature bolt assemblies, electrical component isolation, thermal barrier applications.
Electrical Equipment
Transformer assemblies, switchgear components, motor insulation.
Precision Manufacturing
Electronic device assembly, heat-sensitive components, vibration dampening systems.
Due to their exceptional electrical insulation, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, mica washers offer a myriad of benefits across diverse industries.
In electrical applications, they act as insulators, preventing the conduction of electricity and safeguarding components from short circuits. Their resistance to high-temperatures makes them ideal for use in furnaces, ovens, and other heat-intensive environments, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Their thin yet robust structure allows for precise insulation in compact spaces. Thanks to their strong resistance to wear and chemicals, our mica washers can be used in various industrial applications.

FAQs
Mica is a mineral that belongs to a group of silicate minerals known as phyllosilicates. It is characterized by its highly perfect basal cleavage, which allows it to be split into thin sheets that are flexible, elastic, and transparent. Mica is valued for its resistance to heat, electricity, and acids.
Mica is best for applications requiring thermal insulation, electrical insulation, and resistance to chemical corrosion. It is extensively used in the electronics industry for components like capacitors and insulators, and in industries requiring high-temperature insulation materials, such as furnaces and microwave ovens.
In a microwave, a mica sheet is used as a waveguide cover. It covers the aperture through which microwaves are admitted into the main cavity of the oven. The mica sheet helps prevent food particles and moisture from entering the waveguide, which can cause damage and efficiency loss.
Mica sheets are valued for their clear visibility and effective protection from outdoor conditions, effectively blocking dust, dirt, and harsh weather. Their durability against scratches ensures they maintain quality over time, making them a reliable choice for see-through enclosures.
