Products classified under HTS 2525.20.00.00
Muskovite Mica Powder
Finely ground powder derived from muskovite mica, a potassium aluminum silicate mineral, used as a filler in paints, plastics, and cosmetics. It falls under HTS 2525.20.00.00 as mica powder, which is mica processed into powder form without further chemical alteration or agglomeration.
Phlogopite Mica Powder
Phlogopite mica ground into a fine powder, known for its heat resistance, commonly used in electrical insulation and rubber compounds. Classified under HTS 2525.20.00.00 as it is powdered mica, distinct from splittings or waste.
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Mica Powder
Laboratory-produced fluorphlogopite mica in powder form, offering superior thermal stability for high-end electronics and pearlescent pigments. Despite being synthetic, it is classified under HTS 2525.20.00.00 when imported as pure mica powder chemically equivalent to natural mica.
Wet Ground Mica Powder
Mica processed via wet grinding to produce ultra-fine powder for use in sheet molding compounds and cosmetics. Falls under HTS 2525.20.00.00 as mica powder, regardless of wet or dry grinding method, as long as not further agglomerated.
Dry Ground Muscovite Mica Powder 325 Mesh
325 mesh dry ground muscovite mica powder used as an extender in oil-based paints and joint compounds. Classified in HTS 2525.20.00.00 for its fine particle size and pure mica composition.
Serpentinite Mica Powder
Fine powder from serpentinite-hosted mica deposits, used in specialty fillers for polymers. HTS 2525.20.00.00 applies as powdered mica, even from associated mineral deposits.
Mica Powder for Pearl Pigment
High-purity mica powder coated substrate preparation for pearlescent effects in automotive paints. Remains under HTS 2525.20.00.00 prior to titanium dioxide coating application.
Micronized Phlogopite Mica Powder
Micronized to 5-10 micron particle size for injection molding compounds and cosmetics. HTS 2525.20.00.00 for the extreme fineness typical of high-value mica powders.
