Micaceous iron oxide is a mineral that is found naturally and is used as an ester layer in some industries, including the marine industry, due to its anti-corrosive properties. Mica iron oxide should be more than 85% iron oxide in its structure.
According to the research, this substance can absorb between 20 and 25% of oil.
Magnesium oxide is composed of plate-shaped particles
Mica is composed of plate-shaped particles. By overlapping each other, these particles are able to create a solid surface to prevent the penetration of destructive factors. Mica iron oxide particles are like small mirrors that reflect UV and prevent damage to the paint resin, and its layered and particulate state also prevents the passage of water particles or chemicals.
Applications of ferric oxide:
- In marine installations as a corrosion-resistant ester layer
- on the external surfaces of tanks, pipelines of chemical factories, metal frameworks, refineries, and concrete surfaces
- In the paint industry as anti-rust, epoxy, resistant paint, and industrial paint
- In abrasive industries such as drilling mud, oil platforms, and marine pipelines
- It creates a shiny surface in interior decorations due to its resistance to water.
