PRODUCT: MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE
Micaceous iron oxide is a crystalline form of iron oxide (Fe2 O3) that differs from the more familiar red, yellow, and brown forms of iron oxide pigments. Its crystals can be fractured into thin flakes, giving it a physical form similar to mica. This similarity gives rise to the term "micaceous."It’s normally dark gray to black in color, although finer grades have a red tint. Coarser grades are characterized by the metallic luster or sparkle that can easily to seen with the naked eye.
Like the other forms of iron oxide, MIOX is a very inert material. It is insoluble in water, organic solvents, and alkalis, ant! is only slightly soluble in strong acids at elevated temperatures. It is un-reactive to most chemicals and is heat stable up to it's melting point of over 1,00 C (2,700 F). It is non-toxic, non-oxidizing, non-corrosive, and non-flammable.
With such health and environmental properties, it is not surprise?
MIOX® as performance additive for polymers can be used in:
- Pipes and Profiles: drainage pipes, water pipes, eaves gutter, sound shielding, vibration damping
- Automotive: design, noise reduction, scratch resistance
- Film: horticulture, agriculture, military
- Appliances: shields, housings, plates, kitchen furniture
- Sports: golf balls, vibration damping
- Textiles: fibers and fabrics
