Materials We Love: Mica

Mica is a remarkably versatile mineral that is widely used in literally thousands of industrial and consumer products. The roof, drywall and paint in your home, the fenders and motor starter of your car, your microwave oven, computer, home security system and even your toothpaste are all likely to contain mica in some form. But at Hammerton, we use mica for one purpose alone: aesthetics.
