Iron Oxide Pigment For Industry

There are 16 types of iron oxides, which are compounds composed of iron and oxygen. These different compounds are used as pigments in a wide range of industries.
IOPs, known as iron oxide pigments (IOPs), have become indispensable in one industry or another;
In the construction industry, iron oxide is the most commonly used pigment for the production of colored and/or decorative concrete, and for good reason; iron oxide not only produces a range of color possibilities in earth tones, but also offers many other advantages. Iron oxide granulation adds further advantages.

Advantages of iron oxide pigments in concrete

Iron oxide can be used to produce a range of shades including red, brown, yellow and black. Combined, this offers the potential for a wide range of options. The earthy tones that can be achieved with iron oxide pigments are ideally suited to the needs of the concrete industry. However, in addition to the colors offered by iron oxide pigment , iron oxide is a preferred pigment for its other beneficial properties, including:
Cost effective
Non-toxic
Color stability
Durable and weather resistant
Lightfastness
Cement compatible
Highly resistant to UV exposure
Generally high coloring power

Compared to some other pigments, iron oxide pigments are often considered an environmentally friendly choice as they contain no heavy metals or other harmful substances.

$Iron oxide pigments remain stable at high temperatures and are therefore often used in products that are resistant to high temperatures, such as ceramics or refractory materials.$

Iron oxide pigments remain stable at high temperatures and are therefore often used in products that are resistant to high temperatures, such as ceramics or refractory materials.

Iron oxide pigments are mainly composed of iron and oxygen elements. Depending on the oxidation state, they can be formed into a variety of colors, such as red, yellow, brown and black.

Iron oxide pigments have excellent weathering resistance, with high resistance to light, chemicals and climate change, and are not easily faded or discolored.

Iron oxide pigments are widely used in coatings, paints, plastics, rubber, ceramics, asphalt, cement and other fields to provide color stability and uniform tinting effect.

Iron oxide pigments have excellent covering ability, which can effectively hide the color or imperfections of the underlying layer when covering the surface.

Iron oxide pigments are widely adopted for their stability, weather resistance and versatility, and their relatively low cost makes them a cost-effective choice for making a wide range of color products.

Because iron oxide pigments are available in a variety of oxidation states, a wide range of colors can be achieved through different formulations and treatments, from bright to deep.

Iron oxide pigments are extremely light stable and can therefore be exposed to outdoor environments for long periods of time without noticeable color fading.

Iron oxide pigments maintain color stability during the preparation process and do not change color when exposed to heat or light.

Iron oxide pigments are widely used in industry

Latex Paint.
Latex paints are common as indoor and outdoor wall coverings. Especially for outdoor applications, excellent weathering and alkali stability as well as high lightfastness are absolutely essential. Coloring with inorganic colored pigments or pigment preparations gives latex paints a unique touch through a wide range of colors.
Industrial Coatings
Whether epoxy systems for primers or acrylate and polyester resins for outdoor painting, inorganic pigments are of top quality when it comes to light and weather stability. However, the limited heat resistance of ordinary iron oxides must be taken into account in the temperature range >180° C. The inorganic pigments are also suitable for use with a wide range of materials.
Powder coatings
When it comes to modern, environmentally friendly coatings, powder coating is one of the best solutions. It is solvent-free, ecologically efficient and the risk of fire and explosion is much lower than with solvent-containing liquid coatings.
UV coatings
UV-hardened coating systems have become increasingly important in the last few years. The very fast drying makes high production speeds possible, thus allowing faster processing of individual components.
Waterborne coatings
Waterborne coatings are becoming more and more important by replacing (wholly or partially) solvents and will become even more important in many areas in the coming years.
Heat-resistant systems
Some paint systems must be aged. In addition to highly aged industrial coatings, there are also coil coating systems and powder coatings. In this case, the heat resistance of the pigments used must be considered.
