Unique shielding, exceptional heat resistance, superior corrosion resistance, wide application

• 1. Composition: micaceous iron oxide gray for the sheet structure, the main chemical ingredient is a- Fe2O3;
• 2. Range of application: Due to the high stability and mechanical strength of the film, high purity, high temperature, especially the characteristics of good anti-chalking, micaceous iron oxide pigments can be made into a variety of primer, intermediate coating, paint. It can also be used to make high-temperature paint and paint infrared detection
• 3. Usage: directly with base materials, auxiliary materials, additives and solvent blends, dispersion.

Product property and characteristics

• 1. Shielding effect to prevent corrosive substances and moisture intrusion effect
  Chemically inert sheet-iron pigment in the film within the laminate, moisture penetration difficulties, such as alkyd paints with water, chlorinated rubber and epoxy resin used in conjunction, can greatly improve the ability of anti-rust. It should be used in hot and humid areas, factories, mines and marine areas.
• 2. Good weather resistant
  Micaceous iron oxide can reflect, absorb ultraviolet light, protecting the paint from damage, have special effect against chalking.
  Photo sensitivity weak encountered sunlight, rain, dew, frost, snow, difficult to be damaged, ultraviolet radiation resistant function can be used for anti-corrosion finish. Does not have chemically react with the paint, the film can maintain long-term flexibility. Also, the flake pigment is not easy to remove during pulverization than the particulate pigment, still play barrier, thus extending the life of the film.
• 3. Easy construction, suitable for thick film
  Micaceous iron oxide paint can air spray, high pressure airless spray, roller or brush. Usually long oil alkyd, a dry film thickness of 20-40??M, iron and alkyd paint a cloud of dry film thickness of 40-60??M. Layered structure having a high hiding power but other oxide coatings does not have.
  Low shrinkage during cure the coating, so that the mechanical strength is increased.
• 4. Strong adhesion between paint film
  Topcoat laminated sheet-iron have appropriate roughness can remain stable adhesion, after use outdoor two, three months, the film surface partially exposed micaceous iron crystals, which can help increase the adhesion on.
  Micaceous iron oxide pigments in the paint film can be formed on the uneven surface to improve adhesion of the second coating.
• 5. Excellent heat resistance
  Micaceous iron oxide grey itself withstand 900??C high temperature, and with the silicone paint, can be made into high temperature paint.
• 6. Non-toxic environmental protection
  MIO itself substantially free of lead, chromium and other heavy metals, and can replace red lead and other anti-rust paint.
  Flame cutting or welding can be performed, not as red lead and other toxic lead paint hazards easy welders, serious occupational lead poisoning.
• 7. Low price
  MIO is the lowest-quality, cost-effective anti-rust paint, it has been widely used in heavy-duty areas. for intermediate coat over zinc-rich primer coating, both for the entire film play a good shielding effect closed, effectively improve the permeability of the coating and corrosion protection, increased thickness of the coating, reduced smear cost layer.
