BIOTITE Supplier in Malaysia
BIOTITE supplier in Malaysia for personal-care, coatings, industrial-compounding and laboratory buyers. This dark mica-group mineral is purchased as platy flakes or milled powder against a declared mineral composition, colour and particle specification.
Mineral flakes retain recognisable micaceous plates, while milled and fine cosmetic grades provide controlled particle distributions for specific processing and dispersion needs. Natural source variation means the receiving specification should define composition rather than assume one universal formula.
Applications include selected colour cosmetics, mineral filler systems, specialty coatings, pigment formulations, analytical preparation and formulation development. Muscovite, synthetic mica and multi-pigment blends remain separate mineral identities or formulated products.
Send the required flake or powder form, mineral composition, particle distribution, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documents and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Safety and handling
Keep dry and sealed against contamination. Control airborne dust during handling and follow the information for the quoted mineral grade.
Common questions about BIOTITE
Is BIOTITE the same as muscovite mica?
No. BIOTITE and muscovite are different mica-group minerals with distinct composition, colour and commercial specifications, so buyers should name the required mineral.
What is the difference between flakes and milled BIOTITE?
Flakes retain recognisable plates, while milled grades follow a declared particle distribution for compounding or formulation.
Is cosmetic BIOTITE a finished pigment blend?
No. This page covers the mineral powder; blends with other pigments or binders are separate formulations.
Does BIOTITE have one fixed chemical formula?
Natural BIOTITE is compositionally variable, so no single formula is published for every mineral source.
Which specifications should a buyer provide?
State the mineral composition, flake or powder form, particle distribution, colour, moisture, intended process and any application-specific impurity controls.
How are packing and documents confirmed?
Pack format and available mineral or quality documents depend on the selected particle grade and quantity and are confirmed with the quotation.
