A 25 kg sack of powdered micaceous iron oxide, a dry mineral pigment used to formulate hive paint with a compatible binder such as linseed oil.
Although sometimes sold as “iron powder”, it is not metallic iron: here it acts as a paint pigment, not as a magnetic material, food ingredient or supplement.
Before mixing: read the batch label and safety data sheet, control dust and make a small trial. This listing does not set a universal pigment-to-oil ratio.
01 · IDENTITY AND USE
Micaceous iron oxide is dispersed into a binder to create a mixture for compatible surfaces. The sack is not ready to apply and does not contain a complete recipe. Colour, coverage, settling and drying depend on pigment, oil, proportions, mixing and substrate.
02 · CONTROLLED MIXING
Use a suitable container, add pigment gradually and mix until evenly dispersed. No fixed linseed-oil ratio is stated because a documented formula for every binder and condition is unavailable. Test a small area, allow it to dry and assess adhesion and finish before scaling the batch.
03 · DUST AND CLEANING
Use the protective equipment specified in the safety data sheet and provide adequate ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling it. Keep it away from food, honey, food-use wax and the occupied hive interior. Collect spills without raising dust and dispose of waste according to supplier information.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
The 25 kg format is intended for volume preparation and requires dry storage, dosing equipment and sufficient mixing capacity. Only powdered pigment is supplied; oil, solvent, tools and protective equipment are not included. Keep the sack closed, labelled and protected from moisture.
