Application

Descriptions:

• Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3.

• Iron oxide is widespread in nature, play an important role in many geological and biological processes.

• As the mineral known as hematite, Fe2O3 is the main source of iron for the steel industry.

• Common rust is a form of iron(III) oxide.

• Iron oxide red is insoluble in water, but soluble in hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

• Iron oxides are widely used as inexpensive, durable pigments in paints, coatings and colored concretes.

Uses:

• Iron oxide red is used in coloration for construction materials, such as mosaic brick, levigation level ground, concrete production, brick for pavement, colorful tiles and man-made marble, etc.

• Iron oxide red is used in kinds of paints, including water-soluble paint for outside and inside wall, and oil paint including kinds of first coat and face coat such as epoxy, alkyd, amine etc.

• Iron oxide red is used in coloration for colorful paper industry.

• Iron oxide red is used in surface coloration for rubber production; strengthen the abrasion resistance of rubber filling.

• Iron oxide red is used in coloration for plastics, which is harder to fade.

• Iron oxide red is used in detecting the damage degree of machine by its magnetism.
