PRODUCT: MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE
M.I.O. Micaceous Iron Oxide Euro-MicaTM
With its fish-scale-like and plate-like structure, the qualities of the natural iron oxide (Fe2O3) Euro-MicaTM are comparable to those of muscovite mica. Scale armor paints and iron oxide paints were named after these micaceous iron oxide characteristics. Micaceous iron oxide paints are well approved in heavy corrosion protection and are preferential substances in building protection wherever long life durancy is needed.
The micaceous iron oxide Euro-MicaTM has an excellent lamellar structure with a content of lamellar particles of about 70 % (according to the current ISO norm). This lamellar structure creates that barrier effect which is responsible for the long-lasting corrosion protection. This blockade avoids actively the penetration of humidity (salt water, tropical moisture) and air pollution. This scale-like structure is also the reason for the excellent adhesion to the substrate of anti-corrosion coatings as well as in intermediate layers in multilayers coatings.
Moreover, the lamellar structure of Euro-MicaTM acts as an UV filter. Thus, Euro-MicaTM supports a sustainable delay of degradation of the binding resin resulting from climatical influences.
