What is iron oxide?

Iron oxide is a compound formed by the chemical reaction of iron and oxygen and is an important substance widely found in nature.

Iron oxide has different components such as iron (II) oxide (FeO) and iron (III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3), depending on the oxidation number. Both are iron oxides and, along with iron hydroxide, are components of rust.

Iron oxide pigments are the workhorse of the pigment industry. Chengyu's iron oxide pigment is a synthetic, inorganic, harmless pigment. It produces true, natural colors when used in the manufacturing process.
