DM675
Dupre Minerals’ MicaShield is a stable, water based, dispersion of high aspect ratio platelets produced by the controlled exfoliation of specially selected vermiculite ores; vermiculite is the name given to a group of hydrated laminar aluminium-iron-magnesium silicate minerals.
The MicaShield product range offers temperature resistant coatings up to 1100 °C that are non-flammable (unformulated) or, for formulated products incorporating organic additives, of limited flammibilty. MicaShield products are safe and easy to use, non-toxic and enviromentally-friendly.
The solids content of DM675, measured at 110 °C, is approximately 17.5%. DM675 usually requires appropriate dilution with water prior to use; although DM675 is partially formulated with organic adhesion promoters, additional additives may need to be included in the final coating recipe.
Why Use Micashield DM675?
- Protective coating for Fibre Glass Textiles
- Flame and Heat Protective Barriers

How To Apply Micashield
- Conventional industrial textile coating techniques.
- Dilute with de-mineralised water to the appropriate solids content for the level of coating required; a commonly used dilution is: 65% DM675 to 35% water and additives.
- It is the user’s responsibility to establish the correct dilution for their process / application.
