Micas

A Naturally Occurring Mineral With a Luster You Can't Manufacture

Mica is a naturally occurring rock-forming mineral, found in flake, hexagonal, and diamond-plate crystal forms. Unlike synthetic colorants, mica's color comes from its natural mineral composition — giving it a one-of-a-kind metallic luster that catches light unlike anything man-made.

Why Choose Mica Flakes

✓ Natural Mineral Origin — A genuine rock-forming mineral, not a synthetic substitute

✓ Unique Metallic Luster — Naturally reflective, catching light in a way synthetic pigments can't replicate

✓ Color Fast — Resists fading over time, maintaining its natural luster for years

✓ Chemical & Abrasion Resistant — Built to withstand daily wear, chemical exposure, and heavy traffic

✓ Slip Resistant Texturing — Adds natural texture underfoot for safer floors

✓ Hides Sub-Surface Imperfections — An economical way to mask minor flaws in your base coat

How to Use
