Titanium Dioxide-Coated Mica Powder (TiO2@Mica)
TiO2@Mica is a pearlescent pigment powder: a thin, uniform rutile titania film on a mica flake produces durable interference color that does not fade the way organic pearlescent pigments can.

Titanium Dioxide-Coated Mica Powder — Grades & Specifications
Titanium Dioxide-Coated Mica Powder (TiO2@Mica) powder is supplied across a range of grades, particle sizes and coating ratios. The options below are typical; specify your target values in the request form and we will confirm availability, lead time and pricing.
| Material | Titanium Dioxide-Coated Mica Powder (TiO2@Mica) |
|---|---|
| Category | Ceramic/Oxide-Coated Powder |
| Core material | Mica (muscovite) (CAS 12001-26-2) |
| Coating / shell material | Titanium dioxide (rutile) (CAS 13463-67-7) |
| Coating content | Rutile TiO2 film thickness generally in the 60-165 nm range across the interference-color series; thicker layers progress the interference color from white/silver through gold, red, blue and green |
| Particle size | Mica flake face size approximately 1-150 um (pigment-grade optimum commonly 10-60 um for best light reflection); flake thickness approximately 0.1-3 um |
| Morphology | Platelet/flake — a thin, high-aspect-ratio mica substrate with a uniform thin-film oxide coating |
| Appearance | Pearlescent/nacreous powder; color varies with TiO2 layer thickness from white/silver through gold, red, blue and green |
| Optical Durability | The rutile TiO2 thin film is chemically and thermally stable, giving consistent angle-dependent interference color without fading versus organic pearlescent alternatives |
| Typical applications | Cosmetics & Personal Care Pigments, Automotive Topcoats, Plastics & Masterbatch Coloring, Printing Inks & Packaging |
