Umgubo weMica, into esetyenziswa kwiindawo ezininzi zoshishino, uvela kwiiminerali zendalo ze-mica ezifana ne-muscovite, eyaziwa ngokuba nemibala engenambala ukuya kwimibala ekhanyayo, kunye ne-biotite, edla ngokubonisa imibala emnyama ukuya kwemnyama. Inkqubo yemveliso ibandakanya ulandelelwano olucokisekileyo lokutyumza i-ore eluhlaza kunye nokuyicola ibe ngamasuntswana amancinci, nto leyo esusa ngempumelelo ulwakhiwo oluneeleyara ze-mica. Olu tshintsho luvelisa amasuntswana ahlukeneyo ngobukhulu kunye nokuma, alungiselelwe iimfuno ezithile zamashishini ahlukeneyo.​

I-Mica imbiwa kwihlabathi liphela, ineendawo ezinkulu zemveliso eIndiya, ezidume nge-muscovite yayo ekumgangatho ophezulu; iTshayina, umthengisi ohamba phambili oneemithombo ezininzi; kunye ne-United States, ngakumbi kwimimandla efana neNorth Carolina. Ezi zixhobo zehlabathi ziqinisekisa ukunikezelwa rhoqo ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezahlukeneyo zamashishini kwihlabathi liphela.

Enye yezona mpawu zibalaseleyo ze-mica powder ngamandla ayo aphezulu e-dielectric, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe lolona khetho lufanelekileyo lokusetyenziswa kwi-capacitors nakwi-electronics insulation. Olu phawu luvumela i-mica ukuba imelane nombane ophezulu ngaphandle kokuwohloka, ikhusela izinto ze-elektroniki ezinobuthathaka ekonakaleni. Ukongeza, i-mica ibonakalisa uzinzo olukhethekileyo lobushushu, ikwazi ukumelana nobushushu obungaphezulu kwama-600°C. Olu kuqina kobushushu kuyenza ibe luncedo kakhulu kwizicelo zobushushu obuphezulu, njengokwenziwa kwee-oven zoshishino kunye nezixhobo ezimelana nobushushu.​

Iimpawu ezibonakalayo ze-mica powder nazo zinegalelo kuluhlu olubanzi lokusetyenziswa kwayo. Kwishishini lezinto zokuthambisa, amanqanaba amahle kakhulu e-mica asetyenziselwa ukwenza ukukhazimla okuncinci kwiimveliso zokuthambisa, ukusuka kwi-eyeshadows ukuya kwi-highlighters. Esi siphumo esikhanyayo asigcini nje ngokuphucula ubuhle kodwa sikwabonelela ngobume obugudileyo nobulinganayo. Kwiipeyinti nakwiiplastiki, i-mica powder isebenza njengesizalisi esiqinisayo, siphucula kakhulu ukumelana nemozulu kunye namandla oomatshini. Ngokusasazeka ngokulinganayo kwi-matrix, amasuntswana e-mica asebenza njengomqobo kwimitha ye-UV, ukufuma, kunye nezinye izinto ezingqongileyo, zandisa ubomi bemveliso egqityiweyo.​

Ukusetyenziswa kwe-mica powder kwimizi-mveliso kwahluka ngokulinganayo. Kwishishini lezixhobo, isetyenziselwa ukuthintela ubushushu, inceda ukugcina amaqondo obushushu afanelekileyo okusebenza ngelixa inciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla. Iingubo ezingatshiyo eziqulethe i-mica powder zibonelela ngomaleko owongezelelweyo wokhuseleko, zinciphisa ukusasazeka kwamalangatye kwaye ziphucula ukhuseleko lomlilo. Kwimveliso yerabha, i-mica isebenza njengearhente yokukhulula, ithintela irabha ukuba inamathele kwiinkuni ngexesha lenkqubo yemveliso, ngaloo ndlela iphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kwaye inciphise inkunkuma.
