Micaceous Iron Oxide

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE Updated Apr’20
Micaceous Iron Oxide is an alkyd-based coating pigmented with micaceous iron oxide. It is
recommended for use as protective coating on steel structures. It may be overcoated with alkyd-
based finish or left uncoated.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Recommended Coating System
Sealer / Primer : Zinc Phosphate Primer : 1 coat
Top Coat : Micaceous Iron Oxide : 2 coats
Surface Preparation
The surface must be free from millscale, rust, grease, oil and other contaminants; it must be dry at the time of application.
Cleaning
Clean up equipment with thinner immediately after use.
Safety Precautions
 Do not apply when the relative humidity exceeds 85% or when the surface to be coated is less than 3C above the dew
point.
 Do not apply at temperature below 7°C. If not, drying and overcoating times will be considerably extended.
 Keep container tightly closed and keep out of reach children or away from food and drink.
 Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
 During application of paint, naked flames, welding operation, and smoking should not be allowed.
 When applying paint, it is advisable to wear eye protection.
 In case of contact with eye, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical advice.
 Remove splashes from skin by using soap or water.
 Paint must always be stored in a cool place.
 When transporting paint, care must be taken. Always keep container in a secure upright position.
 Dispose off any paint waste in accordance with the appropriate Environment Quality Regulations.
Note
* Theoretical Coverage is based on a mathematical formula
%
= m2/lit/coat
Note: This theoretical coverage rate has been calculated from the volume solids of the material and is related to the amount of coating applied onto a
perfectly smooth surface without wastage. For a practical coverage rate, due allowance should be made for atmospheric conditions, surface roughness,
geometry or the article being coated, the skill of applicator etc. when estimating quantities required for a particular job.
