Mica Metallic Flakes For Floor Coating Systems | Real Natural Mica Crystalline Beauty

Mica Metallic Flakes / Chips make resinous flooring glisten with natural crystalline beauty. These unique flakes are derived from a group of sheet silicate minerals, called mica, which include muscovite, phlogopite, biotite, clintonite and others. The mica family of minerals contain highly perfect basil cleavage. Through a highly technical manufacturing process, the distinctive hexagonal atom arrangement of the mica minerals is separated into sheet-like pieces, separated into natural color groups and broken down into standardized flakes sizes. These unique flakes provide a natural metallic luster that cannot be achieved with other engineered minerals.

Mica Flakes come in 18 different color blends, 7 Solid Colors and 3 different sizes (see pictures below which all show Macro Size unless othewise indicate) and can be broadcast into epoxy and polyaspartic coatings.  They vary in thickness from 4 mils to 5 mils DFT (dry film thickness) ASTM D1005.

How much to use depends on the look desired.  The more chips used the less you see of the base coat color and more you see the chips.  Sizes indicated are not exact and vary within a range.

How to Apply?

For a partial broadcast, you can apply chips at the rate of 25 sq’ to 200 sq’ of floor coating per lb of chips. For full broadcast to refusal it takes substantially more, 17-20 sq’/lb of Large size, 15-17 sq’/lb of Macro sized chips and 13-15 sq’/lb of Micro sized chips.  Full broadcast means chips are applied so heavy that the coating can’t absorb anymore and dry chips are sitting on the surface.

After initial broadcast, wait 10 minutes and if any wet spots develop, add additional chips until dry for an even looking finish.  For full broadcast system recommend a clear epoxy as do not need to use a pigmented product. Use of Mica Metallic Chips requires a 2 topcoat process vs normal flakes as they do not lie as flat as vinyl chips will after being broadcast but tend to stick up randomly through the coating.  When your basecoat is ready for the 1st topcoat, use a scraper to knock down the Mica Metallic Chips .  Apply 1st topcoat at 120 to 150 sq’/gallon depending on how much Mica Metallic Chips was applied.  Then when the 1st topcoat is ready to be topcoated, use a scraper and then industrial sander 60 to 100 grit to knock down remaining glitter still sticking up through 1st topcoat.  Apply 2nd topcoat at 200 to 250 sq’/gallon.

Q: What are Natural Mica Metallic Flakes?
A: Natural Mica Metallic Flakes are decorative flakes made from naturally occurring mica silicate minerals. They provide a shimmering, crystalline metallic look when broadcast into epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, or polyurea coatings — unlike engineered mineral alternatives, mica has a unique natural luster.

Q: What sizes and colors do the flakes come in?
A: Our mica flakes come in three sizes:

  • Micro (1/12″) – finer texture

  • Macro (1/4″) – standard decorative

  • Large (1/2″) – bold visual impact

You can choose from 18 pre-mixed color blends and 7 solid colors, or request a custom blend at no extra cost. For other Mica options, consider Colored Natural Mica Flakes or Mica Enhanced Flakes.

Q: How much mica flake should I use?
A: It depends on the look you want:

  • Partial broadcast: lighter coverage — flakes spread wider per box.

  • Full broadcast (to refusal): heavier coverage where the flakes densely cover the base coat.
    Rough coverage guidelines vary by size (e.g., larger flakes cover more sq ft per lb than micro), so you may adjust based on aesthetic preference and project area.

Q: Can I mix my own colors?
A: Yes — use the custom blend option when selecting your flake size, then add notes at checkout with your desired color percentages and SKUs.

Q: Are mica flakes durable?
A: Yes — mica flakes boast excellent chemical resistance, great resilience, and sound-deadening qualities when fully encapsulated in a properly applied flooring system.

Q: Where are mica flakes typically used?
A: They’re perfect for both residential and commercial spaces: garages, basements, retail showrooms, corridors, kitchens, hospitals, labs, veterinary clinics, stadium hallways, and more — anywhere you want a decorative, durable floor.

Q: How do I apply mica flakes with coatings?

  1. Apply your base coat of epoxy or polyaspartic.

  2. Broadcast flakes evenly into the wet coating.

  3. For full broadcast, apply heavy coverage until the base can’t absorb more.

  4. After base coat cures, scrape/sand any flakes standing up (mica doesn’t lie flat like vinyl flakes).

  5. Apply two clear topcoats to encapsulate and protect the flakes for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Q: Do mica flakes affect slip resistance?
A: While mica flakes add decorative depth, they are encapsulated in the coating and should be covered with clear topcoat(s). You can also add non-slip additives if you need extra traction in high-safety areas. For all anti-slip options review our Anti-Slip Additives Page. 

Q: Can I return mica flake orders?
A: Because flakes are custom made at the time of order, they are not eligible for return. If you’re unsure about colors or sizes, check out our Sample Page to purchase 1 or 3 mica flake samples.

Q: What’s the difference between mica and vinyl flakes?
A: Mica offers a natural metallic shimmer and crystalline depth, whereas vinyl flakes provide more solid, opaque coverage. Mica’s natural look is more reflective and textured, and because mica flakes don’t lay as flat, they require careful broadcasting and multiple topcoats for best results.
