Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIO)

Micaceous iron oxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is water resistant and forms a protective overlapping plate barrier that prevents corrosion infiltration when applied to metallic surfaces. Flakes formed by micaceous iron oxide are weather-resistant, reflect ultraviolet light, allow water vapor to escape from the substrate, and are chemically resistant. It has been used in corrosion and weather-resistant paint for over 100 years, with the Eiffel Tower being one example of where it has been used.
