Superfine iron oxide red and micronized iron oxide red

With the widespread application of iron oxide red, we are no longer unfamiliar with it, but some customers have questions about whether superfine iron oxide red and micronized iron oxide red are the same pigment. This article will answer it for you.


Superfine iron oxide red pigments have the superior characteristics of general iron oxide red pigments. They are used to damage the composition of iron oxide red or natural iron oxide red with ultra-fine damage equipment to a fineness of 5 μm or less. Fine iron oxide red and fine iron oxide red are the same pigment. For the composition of iron oxide red, it is actually a grinding process designed to break up aggregates and agglomerates. Because the fine iron oxide red can advance the coloring force by more than 5% without changing the hue conditions, different special additives are used for different uses, and then the surface gravity of the pigment in the medium is reduced, making the pigment easy to loose and the gloss of the paint film high. , Storage stability has also greatly improved, in the application system can prevent accumulation, floating and blooming.


Iron oxide red is suitable for a variety of high-grade paints, coatings, glass, plastic rubber and chemical building materials, construction cement and other coloring agents.


It is necessary to participate in a certain amount of surfactants (loose agents, anti-settling agents, loose stabilizers, etc.) in iron oxide red when performing micronization damage. It is one of the methods for making easy-to-loose iron red powder pigments. Iron oxide red refers to iron oxide red that is loose and can reach a Hegman fineness reading of 7.0. The looseness of iron oxide pigments depends not only on the manufacturing process but also on post-processing (monotonic, grading, damage, etc. operations). Since the crystal particles are all wrapped in a bulking agent and an anti-stacking agent, the loosening effect is good, and the pigment accumulation is handled. Because the easy-to-loose iron oxide red pigment has an incomparable loosening function, it can shorten the grinding time, greatly advance the work efficiency, reduce the production cost, and it advances the miscibility of concrete, increasing its hardness and brightness.
Scattered iron oxide red is suitable for the coloring of various coatings, building layouts, concrete products, ceramics, rubber, plastics, etc.

some Micronized iron oxide recommend as below:

micronized iron oxide red 110M, Micronized iron oxide red 130Mmicronized iron oxide red 180M

micronized iron oxide yellow 313M, micronized iron oxide yellow 810M,micronized iron oxide yellow 920M

micronized iron oxide black 318M
