Mica  In regards to picture frames, Mica actually refers to a substitute for the mineral mica, which was developed to replace the real thing in the early 20th century.

Today this plastic laminate is used for flooring, countertops, and to coat mdf or wood picture frames. Mica is easy to wipe clean, heat resistant, and creates an attractive, glossy finish that many customers seek when buying a frame.

Alternately, a powdered mineral used to create tempered glass. Some artists use colored forms of the powder mixed with a glaze to paint glass. When heated, the mica fuses with the glass to create a permanent coloration.
