Synthetic red iron oxide has grown in popularity due to its pure hue, consistent properties, and tinting strength. Red, yellow, orange, and black are the most common colors used in single-component forms. Their chemical composition is similar to that of the minerals hematite, goethite, lepidocrocite, and magnetite. Brown pigments are typically made up of a combination of red, yellow, and black iron oxides.
Historically, the Iron Oxides market has grown at a rate of 2%-4% per year. There have been cyclical ups and downs, but this rate has remained consistent over time. Its current applications include construction, coatings, ceramics, paint, ink, rubber, plastics, cosmetics, and so on.
