ALKA 413
MIO Epoxy Coating SystemAlka 413 is a MIO Epoxy, or Micaceous Iron Oxide Epoxy. Alka 413 is a high-performance protective coating used to provide long-term corrosion resistance for steel structures exposed to harsh industrial and marine environments. It is formulated with epoxy resin and micaceous iron oxide pigment, a lamellar or flaky mineral that creates a dense barrier against moisture, oxygen, and corrosive chemicals.
Usage
- MIO epoxy is widely used for:
- Bridges
- Offshore structures
- Storage tanks
- Pipelines
- Refineries

It is commonly applied as an intermediate or build coat in heavy-duty protective coating systems, often over zinc-rich primers and under polyurethane topcoats.
