Coloray, Synthetic Mica Pilot Production... New Production Base Completion Imminent

Coloray, a Chinese company specializing in cosmetics and industrial pearl luster pigments, announced on the 5th that the operation preparation of its new synthetic mica production base is progressing smoothly.

The new synthetic mica production base, established by Coloray with an investment of 80 million yuan (approximately 14.3 billion KRW) since last year, is scheduled to be completed by the end of June this year. The company explained that once the new production base is completed, it will undergo trial production, complete production preparations for all equipment, and stand at the starting line for full-scale operation.

Coloray's new synthetic mica production base is expected to secure an annual production capacity of 6,000 tons, becoming one of the world's top three synthetic mica production bases.

Mica, the raw material for pearl luster pigments, is broadly divided into natural mica and synthetic mica. Among these, high-quality natural mica is gradually depleting worldwide. As a result, the price of natural mica is steadily rising while its quality is declining, leading to synthetic mica replacing it. Synthetic mica is mica synthesized using general minerals by reproducing the components and structure of natural mica. By adjusting the raw material ratio and controlling core synthesis technology, synthetic mica surpasses natural mica in all aspects such as quality (insulation, heat resistance), corrosion resistance, stability, and purity.

A Coloray representative stated, "Through the construction of the new synthetic mica industrial base, we expect a significant enhancement in the safety of Coloray's product supply chain," adding, "In addition to a stable annual production capacity of 6,000 tons, we have adopted environmentally friendly production processes and ensured accuracy in the production process details to minimize the environmental impact of production activities."

They continued, "We will strive to greatly contribute to the company's development by rapidly entering not only cosmetics but also high-end industrial paints, automotive paints, and textiles with a large number of high-quality, competitive pearl pigments made using synthetic mica."
