Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) is a high-purity, naturally occurring form of iron oxide recognized for its layered crystalline structure and metallic grey-black appearance. When processed into powder, it offers exceptional thermal stability, wear resistance, and chemical inertness, making it a versatile additive across multiple industrial sectors.
At Mineore Enterprises, we manufacture and supply industrial-grade MIO powder with consistent chemical composition and controlled particle size. Moreover, with a high Fe2O3 purity, our material performs reliably in demanding environments, from automotive friction components to welding consumables and high-performance fillers. In addition, available in both coarse and fine sizes, it provides excellent balance between flowability, compaction, and heat resistance.
Key Applications:
Our Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) is widely used as a functional filler and performance enhancer in various industries:
Friction Materials (Brake Pads, Clutch Linings):
Improves dimensional stability, heat resistance, and wear life under high temperature and pressure conditions; ensures consistent friction coefficient.
Welding Electrodes & Fluxes:
Acts as an iron-rich mineral that promotes arc stability, assists slag formation, and enhances deposit quality in welding operations.
Rubber & Polymer Compounds:
Serves as a reinforcing filler, improving stiffness, thermal resistance, and processing performance in rubber and polymer formulations.
Industrial Coatings & Paints:
Used as a pigment extender and structural filler to improve coating durability, adhesion, and surface protection on metal and concrete.
Construction Materials:
Adds color, abrasion resistance, and mechanical reinforcement in cementitious coatings, mortars, and flooring compounds.
At our facility, we maintain strict quality control measures to ensure the purity and consistency of our Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO) powder. Furthermore, we employ state-of-the-art equipment and testing procedures to monitor particle size, moisture content, and chemical composition. Our team of experienced professionals follows rigorous protocols to verify that every batch of MIO powder meets or exceeds industry standards for performance and reliability. Ultimately, we take pride in our unwavering commitment to delivering MIO pigment of exceptional quality, consistency, and performance that provide unparalleled protection to your metal surfaces, surpassing your expectations every time.
