FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions When Buying and Using Mica

Mica (also known as Acrylic or PMMA) is one of the most widely used engineering plastic materials today in industries such as advertising, interior design, engineering, and everyday life. With its transparent appearance, easy fabrication, and affordable price, mica has become an effective alternative to glass in many applications.

However, to ensure durability, aesthetics, and long-term performance, it is essential to understand its composition, how to choose the right mica, and how to use it properly. Thanh Hong presents a comprehensive article addressing frequently asked questions about buying and using mica, especially introducing the high-quality mica FS Taiwan line, made from 100% premium raw materials supplied by Mitsubishi Group – Japan.

Mica (also called Acrylic or PMMA – short for Poly Methyl Methacrylate) is a transparent, lightweight plastic with good light transmission, commonly used as a glass substitute in many applications.

Main components include:

• PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate): A synthetic polymer that is transparent, flexible, and a good electrical insulator.
• Technical additives: May include colorants, UV stabilizers, flame retardants, or thermal stabilizers.

Specifically, FS Taiwan mica uses 100% high-quality PMMA raw materials directly supplied by Mitsubishi Group – Japan, ensuring superior purity, stability, and longevity compared to ordinary mica types.
