The difference between mica heating and graphene heating

Electric kettles, hot water bags, physiotherapy pillows, electric fireplaces, etc. in household appliances use heating elements, between which the different heating materials bring different effects. Traditional heating materials are mostly alloys, and new age heating materials are mica, graphene, etc. So, what is the difference between mica heating and graphene heating?

Mica and graphene are two different types of materials, the difference between the two is that the former is an insulator, the latter is a conductor, the former thermal conductivity and stability is worse than the latter, but than the traditional alloy heating has obvious advantages. The former can only replace the alloy heat, but the safety and environmental protection is higher, the latter also has a certain resistance, stable structure, but also can release far infrared.

The former is mica paper bonded with silicone glue, which is only a newly discovered material and is generally used in home appliances and metallurgy, and is considered a relatively excellent thermal conductivity material. However, the latter is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, which is widely used in physics, photoelectricity, chemistry, medicine, etc. It is not only a new material, but also an important energy and strategic resource, representing a new direction of scientific and technological development, and its value has unlimited extension.

In terms of scarcity, graphene is more rare, and therefore, in addition to physical therapy pillows and other products with health effects, generally do not go in the electric kettle and other electrical appliances category to use graphene. Therefore, in the home appliance category, mica heating plate is cost-effective, is a good choice to replace the traditional alloy materials
