Notes
Available in various sizes.
The analysis provided here does not add up to 100 and the manufacturer does not provide an LOI. The highest LOI we can find on a typical mica is 5%, so this was used. Either the other numbers need to be scaled up to total 95 or the LOI set to 10.0 to account for unspecified volatile materials.
If you use this as is with INSIGHT, the effect will automatically be the former.
