Mica is a mineral trade commodity known for its unique properties of flexibility, elasticity, heat resistance, and good electrical insulation. It is primarily extracted from the earth's crust and found in countries like India, China, Brazil, and the United States.

Mica has various primary uses, including electrical insulation, construction materials, paints and coatings, plastics, and paper coatings. Its automotive and electronics applications involve manufacturing components such as capacitors, motors, and transformers. Mica is also used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its pearlescent and shimmering properties.

Mica is traded as a raw material or semi-processed/processed mineral. The production process involves mining, crushing, and separating the mineral from rock formations, which may involve chemical use with potential environmental implications. The primary input materials are earth's crust mineral deposits, water, and energy. Extracted mica is processed into sheets, flakes, and powders before being traded globally.
