Why does mica heating cause smoke?

Why does mica heating cause smoke?

Answer:

The heating of the mica sheet occurs when the first charge is made. The main component of the smoke is the small amount of moisture in the mica sheet and the small molecules in the binder and traces of the residual chemical solventsThe reason for this is simple. These products are trace residues in the process of production, but when the first electric heating occurs, the instant is high temperature, and the things vaporize
Mica by phengite, quartz, garnet and Jin Hongshi etc., can appear albite, zoisite and chlorite, garnet rich Fe and Mg, phengite in Si up to 3.369, is a combination of high pressure. With insulation and low loss thermal resistance function, or very good black body.
This is caused by a small amount of moisture in the mica sheet and the small molecules in the binder and traces of the residual chemical solvents
