Iron Oxide Pigments For Paper

Iron oxide pigment is a kind of inorganic pigment, belongs to iron pigment series, including iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide brown, iron oxide black, etc. Its common point is that it is insoluble in water and has no affinity with cellulose. Relying on the role of aluminum oxide to fix the fiber surface and get coloring. Iron oxide pigment has strong light resistance, good covering power and strong coloring power.

Iron oxide pigment plays the role of filler in decorative raw paper, which can partly replace the expensive titanium dioxide, and can also play the role of pigment coloring, with higher price, and can replace the serious pollution of organic dyes.

The technical indexes of iron oxide pigment used in decorative raw paper are as follows: iron oxide (FE2O3) content: not less than 80% (iron oxide black: iron oxide content of not less than 90%): oil absorption: 20-30%; sieved (325 mesh): not more than 0.5%; water: not more than 1.5%; aqueous compositions; not more than 1.0%; PH value of aqueous extract: 5-7.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

Application areas of iron oxide

In the construction industry, iron oxides are chosen for their excellent weather resistance and favorable cost. They are appreciated for their use in the production of

roof tiles
Paving stones
Masonry bricks
Plastering and rendering
Grouting
Ready-mixed concrete
Asphalt
Iron oxide pigments have a variety of uses, one of the most common being the beautification of gray cementitious materials. However, the color can also have other effects, such as safety in traffic environments or indication of areas and directions.

While red iron oxides can be used in a variety of plastic resins, yellow and black products are less heat resistant and change color at relatively low temperatures. As a result, yellow and black have very limited use in plastics. The industry consumes significant amounts of iron oxide in the coloring of polyolefins used for containers such as planters. Other applications include PVC window profiles, underground construction tubing, and wood-plastic composites. Our portfolio for the plastics industry includes

Red iron oxides from pale yellow to blue shades
Iron oxide yellow with heat resistance up to 240°C
Orange blends
Brown blends
