Carbonyl

Carbonyl paint is a type of paint that is made with carbonyl iron powder as the primary pigment. Carbonyl iron is a form of iron that has been processed to have a very high purity level, and is characterized by its fine, spherical particles. When used in paint, it is known for its excellent hiding power, which means it covers surfaces well, and its durability.

Carbonyl iron paint is typically used in industrial and marine environments, as it is highly resistant to corrosion and wear, and can provide a long-lasting protective coating on metal surfaces. These paints are also used in protective coatings in nuclear power plants, and aerospace. They are available in different finishes such as gloss, semi-gloss, and matte. Some carbonyl paints are also formulated to be heat resistant, for use in high-temperature environments.
