Notes

CD-3200 is a water ground muscovite mica that has optimum delamination and high purity. Our patented process produces a mica product that gives optimum performance in a variety of applications. In addition to excellent color, CD-3200 creates a functional pigment that is very desirable where low bulk density, fineness, high aspect ratio, and excellent coverage are required.
