Naturally occurring phyllosilicates, which are characterized by a pronounced lamellar structure and occur as a variety of mica types, are designated as mica. An industrial use results mainly from the bright muscovite and dark phlogopite. Both types of mica are elaborately processed and refined by HPF The Mineral Engineers. The minerals pass through crushing and separation processes with hydrocyclones and flotation and are finally dried and milled.
