Polyolefins thermogravimetric analysis

Mica products are also very stable at high temperatures. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that both muscovite and phlogopite mica are thermally stable to over 450°C, which is far above the processing temperatures for polyolefin composites. Table 14.3 lists some of the more important physical properties of mica.
