High build two pack epoxy micaceous iron oxide paint with excellent anti corrosive properties due to the laminar structure of MIO and a metallic lustre finish
A two pack, cold cured, high build epoxy intermediate coat or finish containing micaceous iron oxide. The platelet type structure of micaceous iron oxide produce a shield or barrier that helps protect the ingress of moisture and has therefore good anti corrosive properties.
For application to suitably prepared steelwork, giving good anti-corrosive properties in polluted environments. The high build properties of this material permit dry film thicknesses of up to 100 microns to be applied in a single coat.
Good anti corrosive properties
Can be used as an intermediate coat or finish
excellent barrier properties on exposed steelwork
Coverage: Approximately 8m² per litre @ 75 μ DFT. Coverage can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.
Typical Applications:
Structural Steel
Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet and Technical Information Sheet prior to the use of this product. See download tab.
Application Methods: Conventional Spray, Airless Spray and Brush
Colour Availability: Grey
Pack Size: 4 litre composite units (base component - 3 ltrs in 5 ltr tin + curing agent - 1 ltr in 1 ltr tin)
Drying Time @ 20ºC: Drying times will be extended at low temperatures . Do not apply when ambient temperature falls below 5ºC or relative humidity exceeds 90%.
Surface Dry @ 20ºC : 3 - 4 hours
Hard Dry @ 20ºC: 12 hours
Dry Film Thickness: 50 - 100μ
Wet Film Thickness: 85 - 175 μ
Coverage: Approximately 8m² per litre @ 75 μ DFT. Coverage can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.
Flash Point: 26ºC
VOC Content (as supplied): Max 365g / litre
Storage: Store in temperature range 5-30ºC
Thinners: Firwood 67 Thinners
Pot Life @ 20ºC: 8 hours when mixed. The times stated show effective life, however, material stays liquid much longer but does not perform satisfactorily. Do not use after stated times. The pot life will be significantly reduced where the mixed paint is used at higher ambient temperatures.
Directions for Use: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, millscale, etc.
Surfaces should preferably be shot blasted to Swedish standard Sa2½ then coated within 4 hours for optimum performance.
The type 76 base and 76 curing agent should be well mixed together in the proportion of 4 - of base to 1 - of curing agent by volume. Blend the curing agent with the base paint and mix for 5 minutes with a spatula or low speed power mixer. Leave for 5 minutes once mixed before application by brush or spray. For further information refer to the Technical Information Sheet on the downloads section for this product.
Only sufficient material should be mixed to meet immediate requirements as the mixture has a limited pot life of 8 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Pot life can be significantly reduced in high ambient temperatures.
For galvanised or non-ferrous metals, we recommend the use of
a suitable etch primer such as Firwood 90 Rapid Dry Chromate Free Etch Primer.
Cleaning: Clean application equipment immediately after use with Firwood 67 Thinners
