Hi,

Micaceous iron oxide is a naturally occurring iron oxide that has the form of flakes,flat and thin. In paint it aligns itself with the surface on which the paint is applied to form a more or less impervious layer in the paint. The iron oxide is very stable being already oxidized and will protect the surface against moisture and thus prevent corrosion. It also stops UV radiation and protects the paint against deterioration from that, important in Florida. The Eiffel tower is painted with mica, iron oxide, it has been used in Europe for about 100 years, not much in the States.
