Introduction to Iron Oxide

Iron oxide pigment is an important inorganic colour pigment, based on its excellent pigment quality, simple production process, and easy availability of raw materials, which can fully utilize waste and byproducts from other industries. In addition, the product has minimal toxicity and is widely used in this series of oxidized iron pigments. The most important is iron oxide red, the most stable compound in iron oxides; the chemical name is Fe2O3. Due to different manufacturing methods, several varieties of iron red can be obtained, and their physical properties can vary greatly. Due to their respective advantages and additional objects of use, they can exist independently. Iron oxide pigments are an ancient type of pigment. It has been proven that humans began using iron oxide pigments in painting about 20000 years ago. Humans began using natural iron oxide mineral pigments for industrial development. To prepare products with purer and better performance, synthetic iron oxide pigments were developed about 60 years ago; now, it has gradually replaced natural and artificial products, accounting for over 80% of the total production in recent years. Due to the importance of environmental pollution in various countries, iron-containing wastes have been used to manufacture iron-based pigments to make them more vitality. Due to different manufacturing methods, particle sizes and shapes are also other, causing the colour of iron red to change from red-yellow to red-purple. Different colour phases can be selected according to additional requirements. The size of red iron particles has a special relationship with colour, colouring force, covering force, specific surface area, and oil absorption.
