WHOM SO EVER IT MAY CONCERN

Subject : Intergard 475HS MIO

Intergard 475 HS MIO can be used instead of Intergard 475 HS in all cases. Below are the Benefits
of MIO.
MIO (Micaceous Iron Oxide) is a type of pigment that is commonly used in intermediate coats of
industrial coatings, particularly in anti-corrosion coatings. Here are some of the benefits of using
MIO in intermediate coats:

Corrosion protection: MIO is an effective barrier against corrosion, particularly in harsh

environments where the coating is exposed to saltwater, chemicals, or extreme temperatures.
Its lamellar structure creates a barrier that helps to prevent the penetration of moisture and
other corrosive agents.

UV resistance: MIO is also resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause coatings to
degrade over time. The addition of MIO to the intermediate coat can help to improve the
coating's resistance to UV radiation and extend its lifespan.

Enhanced durability: MIO is a durable pigment that can help to improve the overall durability of
the coating. It is resistant to abrasion and impact, which can help to reduce the need for
frequent maintenance.

Adhesion: MIO can also help to improve the adhesion of the topcoat to the intermediate coat, as
it provides a rough surface for the topcoat to adhere to.

Overall, the use of MIO in intermediate coats can provide a range of benefits, including improved
corrosion protection, UV resistance, durability, aesthetics, and adhesion.
