Ferroxid®

Product Overview

Micaceous iron oxide (MIO) is naturally occurring iron oxide with a distinct lamellar/platy morphology. In coatings, MIO particles align themselves to the substrate and the overlapping platy particles give a formidable barrier to the ingress of water for example for anti-corrosive protection. MIO also imparts great durability and uv protection to coatings.  The mineral morphology also lends itself well to applications in plastics, rubber and polymer compounds for applications with vibration dampening and acoustic insulation properties are required.
