Micaceous iron oxide
Because it has a high refractive index of about 3.0, the light reflectance of particle surfaces is high, and it exhibits excellent properties as a material that gives resin a sparkling appearance. Furthermore, the thin plate-shaped particles have good dispersibility as well as excellent orientation in coating films, extreme thermal stability, and non-toxicity.

AM-200 Micaceous iron oxide applications |
- Because it has a high refractive index of about 3.0, the light reflectance of particle surfaces is high, and it exhibits excellent properties as a material that gives resin a sparkling appearance.
- The thin plate-shaped particles have good dispersibility and excellent orientation in coating films.
- Because they are an oxide and their two main constituents are iron and aluminum, they are extremely thermally stable and non-toxic.
