How To Use Iron Oxide Red In Pigments

Feb 06, 2021

Iron oxide red is very popular. Because of its alkali resistance, weather resistance, and low price, it can be used with alkaline materials such as cement and lime to make colored building materials. It can be mixed with colloidal materials and water to paint the walls. Because iron oxide red is abrasive, it is often used as an abrasive in machinery. Iron oxide pigment is a very important inorganic color pigment, which is based on its excellent pigment quality, simple production process, simple and easy-to-obtain raw materials, and can make full use of waste and secondary resources from other industries. In addition, its products have extremely low toxicity and are widely used.


Generally α-iron oxide is a non-magnetic material, and ferrite obtained by special treatment can be used as a magnetic material. Γ-Iron oxide is a magnetic substance that can be used for tape recording, video recording, magnetic inspection, high-altitude photography, etc.


When used in rubber, in addition to its coloring and strengthening and anti-aging effects, it also has the characteristics of protecting organic matter from degradation by ultraviolet light. In addition, iron red pigment can be used in plastic coloring, chemical fiber, leather industry, and also in pharmaceutical industry and other such as cosmetics, painting, etc.


Iron oxide red coloring matters needing attention:

1. Iron oxide red pigment is used as a pigment or coloring agent for prefabricated parts and building products in various types of concrete, and is directly transferred into cement for use. The colorful concrete exteriors of various rooms, various construction ceramics and glazed ceramics, etc.


2, iron oxide red pigment is suitable for various paint coloring and maintenance materials, and also suitable for oily paint including epoxy, alkyd, amino and other primers and topcoats;


3. The iron red powder pigment is suitable for the coloring of plastic products, such as thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics, and the coloring of rubber products, such as automobile inner tubes, airplane inner tubes, bicycle inner tubes, etc.


4. Iron oxide red is widely used in construction, rubber, plastics, coatings and other industries. In particular, iron red primer has anti-rust function, which can replace high-priced red lead paint and save non-ferrous metals. It is also a high-end precision grinding material, used for polishing fine hardware instruments, optical glass, etc. High purity is the primary base material of powder metallurgy, used to temper various magnetic alloys and other high-end alloy steels.


5. Used for coloring paint, rubber, plastic, construction, etc. In addition, iron oxide pigments can also be used for coloring various cosmetics, paper, and leather.
