DekorFlake

From natural Micas, we manufacture DekorFlake products in our European plant. The production process increases the natural colour effects of the Mica raw material. We create a range of large flaked or fine powdered products in bronze, silver, gold and black.
We offer a wide variety of aesthetic effects, which become achievable with our DekorFlake particle sizes and colours. Different addition levels allow a different variety of finishes to be achieved, such as granite, flecked, glittering/sparkling or metallic lustre.

• Metallic lustre
• Controlled colour consistency
• Tightly controlled particle size distribution
• UV stability
• Weather resistance
• Solvent resistance
• Acid and alkali resistance
• Tough but flexible, plate-shaped particles

DekorFlake mineral origin

The origins of these minerals are as follows:

Phlogopite is associated with metamorphosed limestone and ultrabasic rocks. Particularly hydrothermal veins formed through metasomatism of magnesium-rich rocks as well as ultrabasic and carbonatite ring intrusions associated with ancient shield areas. We source our LKAB Minerals‘ Phlogopite Mica from a major deposit in Finland.

Muscovite is a constituent of acid igneous rocks like granite, pegmatite, or alaskite, some regionally metamorphosed rocks and clastic sedimentary rocks, and is a product of alteration. Most commercial deposits are derived from pegmatites which contain 1-2% and rarely up to 10% muscovite. You can find Mica in many regions of the world in the form of pegmatite rock and mica schist.

DekorFlake toxicology

Phlogopite and Muscovite Mica are both non-toxic natural minerals. Please download the Safety Data Sheets from the data centre for further information.
