IRON OXIDES

Iron oxide pigments are characterized as non-hazardous inorganic color pigments

with superb weather and lightfastness. They are being used for coloration of

numerous materials in a broad variety of industries, the most important being

construction, paints and coatings, plastics and paper.

Our iron oxide products are manufactured by Zhejiang Huayuan Pigment Co. Ltd.

and they are marketed under the brand name of HYROX. Zhejiang Huayuan

Pigment Co. Ltd. is a major manufacturer of iron oxide pigments in China, having

experience of over 25 years in this chemical field. A significant modernization

project has converted the plant in Deqing into a highly modern site, using state of

the art technology for manufacturing, surface treatment, water and gas treatment

for full ecological compliance.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION OF OUR IRON OXIDES
Construction applications

In the construction industry iron oxides are chosen because of their excellent weather fastness as well as their favorable costing. They are appreciated for the use in

the production of

· Roof tiles

· Pave stones

· Masonry bricks

· Stucco and renders

· Grout

· Ready-mix concrete

· Asphalt

The iron oxide pigments serve various purposes, of which the most common one is the beautfication of grey cement-based materials. But the coloration can also have other effects as e.g. safety in traffic environment or indication of areas and directions.

For the use in construction applications we offer a broad range of products:

· Red iron oxides from yellowish to bluish shade

· Yellow iron oxides from greenish to reddish shade

· Black iron oxides from neutral to bluish shade

· Orange blends

· Brown blends

· Compound greens from light green to blue


Coatings applications

The coatings industry appreciates iron oxides in almost all relevant applications:

 

·    Architectural 

·    Industrial

·    Marine and other protective coatings

·    Wood coatings

·    Primers

·    Powder coatings

·    Coil coatings

 

Iron oxide pigments have diversified functions in paints and coatings. Adding color is a visual decorative effect, but they also contribute to the strengthening of coating layers, help to protect surfaces and give indicative visual effects.

 

For the use in coatings applications we offer

 

·    Micronized red iron oxides from yellowish to bluish shade

·    Micronized yellow iron oxides from greenish to reddish shade

·    Micronized yellow iron oxides with low viscosity properties

·    Micronized black iron oxides from neutral to bluish shade

·    Orange blends

·    Brown blends

·    Compound greens from light green to blue for indoor applications

 

 


Plastics applications

Whilst red iron oxides are usable in a wide variety of plastic resins, yellow and black products are less heat resistant and change color shade at relatively low temperatures. Therefore, the use of yellow and black in plastics is very limited. The industry consumes a significant amount of iron oxides in the coloration of polyolefins for use in containers like e.g. flowerpots. Other applications can be PVC window profiles, tubes for underground construction, wood-plastic-composites and others. Our portfolio for the plastics industry consists of

 

·       Red iron oxides from yellowish to bluish shade

·       Yellow iron oxides with elevated heat resistance up to 240°C

·       Orange blends

·       Brown blends

 

 


Paper applications

The paper industry uses iron oxide pigments mainly for decorative papers, but also for other end uses. Decorative papers build the basis for laminated wood products. They receive a décor print before being laminated and pressed on wood panels. Our products for the paper industry are

 

·       Red iron oxides from yellowish to bluish shade

·       Yellow iron oxides from greenish to reddish shade

·       Yellow iron oxides with E172 conformity

·       Black iron oxides from neutral to bluish shade

·       Orange blends

·       Brown blends

 

 


Other applications

Iron oxide products are further used in the manufacturing of 

 

·       Colored mulch

·       Toners

·       Lithium iron phosphate batteries

·       Catalysts

·       Pet food

 

… and many more applications.
