Transparent Iron Oxide Pigment

Careful control of the preparation process for transparent iron oxide pigment results in the formation of pigments with very small primary particle sizes.

The particles are acicular with needle lengths of up to 43nm and needle widths up to 9nm . Typical specific surface is 105-150m2/g , and hence, for inorganic pigment , have relatively high oil absorption figure. Our transparent iron oxide pigments exhibit high levels of transparency and color strength combined with excellent chemical stability, acid-resistance, and alkaline-resistance , as inorganic pigment , they are non-bleeding , non-migratory and are not soluble allowing good effects to be achieved in both water and oil based systems.
Transparent iron oxide pigmentshave good stability to temperature , the red can suffer up to 300 , and yellow, black , green , and brown up to be 160.

Transparent iron oxide pigments are strong absorbers of ultraviolet radiation . The higher the degree of dispersion to expose the maximum surface area of the pigments , not only improve the transparency of the paint film , but also allows for a high level of absorption of the damaging UV light.

The color shade nuances of transparent iron oxide pigments with subtle nuances of color shade.

According to the X-ray analysis to our pigments, the contents of Pb , Sn , Cd are under 100ppm , that proves our products are high quality environmentally acceptable materials.

Applications
Transparent iron oxide pigments are mostly used in automotive paints and wood finishes. Meanwhile they are also widely used in the areas of construction paints, industrial coatings, plastic, nylon, rubber and print ink .

The excellent weather fastness, UV absorption properties , high transparency and color strength makes Trans-oxide to enrich the colors , increase color shades when combined with organic pigments and dyes and improve the condition of poor weather fastness when pigments and dyes are used alone without Trans-oxide pigments.

Automotive Paints
Transparent iron oxide pigments give the stylist the ability to improve durability , transparency and UV absorption of the paint . So they are widely used in automotive paints and in conjunction with aluminum and mica pigments to produce metallic and pearlescent finishes. At the same time , significant cost benefits by allowing cost effective color stylings in combination with more expensive organic pigments can be achieved.
Transparent yellow iron oxide is used in combination with phthalo cyanine pigments to achieve gold to green shades , while transparent red and brown iron oxides can be combined to blue shade reds and maroons.

Wood Coatings
The ultraviolet component of sunlight is principally responsible for the degradation of wood. Transparent iron oxide pigments are strong absorbers of UV radiation providing protection for the wood while their color and transparency enhances the appearance of the natural wood grain . The high durability and weather fastness of Trans-oxide pigments make them the natural choice for wood stains and furniture finishes.

Plastic Application
There is a growing requirement for the use of Trans-oxide in plastic application .Owing to its properties of high transparency and color strength and strong absorption of UV, for example , when we use them as the coloring matter of transparent plastic containers , they can also work as UV radiation absorber which can protect the goods in the containers from UV radiation.

Industry Coating
Coatings containing Transparent iron oxide pigments can produce attractive gold and copper effects when applied over metal.
Transparent iron oxide pigments are suitable for cosmetics and both exterior and interior coating system and children toys.
