Micaceous iron oxide

(MIO) MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE

The micaceous iron oxide supplied and marketed by Silmin Ibérica is a high purity specular hematite. It has a silvery gray color, with a high metallic shine. Its lamellar structure, in small flakes, the size and granulometric diversity of the micaceous iron oxide particles, make it a highly valued product as a pigment for anti-corrosion paints, with multiple industrial applications.

The properties of the micaceous iron oxide marketed and distributed by Silmin Ibérica are its chemical resistance and thermal stability, which create a protective effect against UV radiation, obtaining a reinforcement in the paint film, and implementing a barrier effect due to the laminar form of the particles, which considerably improve the protection of anticorrosive paints for structural steels and very diverse installations.
