Iron Oxide

What Is Iron Oxide

Iron oxide are chemical compounds composed of iron and oxygen. Iron oxides and oxyhydroxides are widespread in nature and play an important role in many geological and biological processes. They are used as iron ores, pigments, catalysts, and in thermite, and occur in hemoglobin. synthetic iron oxide are inexpensive and durable pigments in paints, coatings and colored concretes. Colors commonly available are in the “earthy” end of the yellow/orange/red/brown/black range.

Red iron oxide

Red oxide pigments are the most common ones, and they also contain the highest amount of iron. Owing to their pure hue, consistent properties, and tinting strength, red oxides are gaining immense popularity in various fields.

Red Iron Oxide Uses:

Iron oxide red is mainly used in paints and coatings, rubber, paper, cement colours, and construction. The building materials industry consumes the highest amount of iron oxide pigments. It is because these pigment possess good dispersibility and tinting strength. They are used for coloring concrete, mortar, paving blocks, chequered tiles, and much more.

Yellow Iron Oxide

Iron oxide yellow has an extremely fine particle size (but not as fine as the black or red oxides). The actual ones have around 85% Fe₂O₃ and about 12% LOI with some impurities. These oxides are used in situations where raw colour or raw properties are crucial for the manufacturing process.

Uses of Yellow oxides:

Synthetic Yellow iron oxides powder are widely used in paints, enamels, concrete colorants, plastics, rubber, and also paper (where permanent yellow is needed).

Black iron oxide

Black iron oxide acts as a source of Fe in ceramic applications, particularly at places where raw black colour is crucial. The key difference between the red and black iron oxide pigments is that the red iron oxide is ferromagnetic, and black iron oxide is ferrimagnetic.

Uses of Black oxide:

Black iron oxide powder is used as a colorant for a wide array of non-ceramic products as well. Moreover, these black oxides are also used for resisting corrosion on various appliances. They are also a component of anti-corrosion paints (used in many bridges).
