Mio pigment 2

[Metallurgistrbi]

Hi all,

Iam a newbie, so apologies if this query seems trivial

client specification reads like this

"MIO pigmented paint shall contain a min. of 50% natural laminar micaceous iron oxide by weight in the dry film"

What does natural laminar means? and is there any way from Prouct/safety data sheet to find out the % of natural laminar by weight


Thanks in advance

It's probably lammelar - having a plate-like structure. I think it is redundant with micaceous as the mineral mica has a plate-like structure. It can be easily split or cleaved along planes of weakness in the crystal.

The function in the paint is to function like scales on a fish - overlap and lay flat to maximize the resistance to wear and loss of the binder by protecting the binder.

https://coatings.sibelcotools.com/mineral/micaceous-iron-oxide/[/URL]]Micaceous iron oxide (iron oxide, Fe2O3) is a naturally occurring iron oxide with lamellar shape similar to mica (hence the name). Micaceous iron oxide is characterised by:
Black colour
Lamellar structure
High inertness in various media (the iron in the mineral has already been oxidised).

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
