Red Oxide Pigments

Iron Oxides are extensively used in the preparation of paints. There are two main stains yellow and red, Both these varieties are available in synthetic and natural forms. Yellow oxide of iron is widely used as a retainer in glass paints, undercoats, of iron finds application in paints rubber, plastics, ceramics, paper  linoleum and for polishing glass,  metals  and diamonds, Iron  oxides are used in paints for exterior  work on account  of the low cost and protective value. They are used as primers for structural steel, automobiles bodies, ship bottoms of iron  prolong  life  of the substance by  eliminating  the  destructive effect light on the film. Iron oxide pigments own their yellower tint to ferrous oxide and ferric hydroxide while red red dish-brown colour is essentially due to anhydrous  ferric  oxide Fe203.

The continually increasing importance of iron oxide pigments is based on their nontoxicity. Chemical stability,  wide  variety of colours ranging from yellow, orange, red, brown to black,  low price. Natural and synthetic iron oxide pigments consist of well-defined compounds with known crystal structures.
