Natural Red Oxide

VM Natural Red Oxide

Red oxide, commonly referred to as iron red oxide due to its chemical composition of Fe2O3, is renowned for its vibrant red hue and non-toxic nature, making it a favored pigment across various industries. One of its primary attributes is its exceptional corrosion protection capabilities, making it a popular choice for coatings and paints aimed at safeguarding surfaces against deterioration.
This development underscores VASU Minechem's commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of industries relying on high-quality red oxide pigment. The durability of paints formulated with red oxide is widely recognized, owing to its inherent properties. Iron oxide pigment boasts excellent light fastness, ensuring that colors remain vivid and resistant to fading even under prolonged exposure to sunlight. Additionally, its weather durability makes it suitable for outdoor applications, where it can withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising its integrity. Moreover, red oxide exhibits good resistance to alkalis and solvents, further enhancing its suitability for diverse industrial uses.
Traditionally, red oxide has been available with purity levels ranging from 60% to 65%. However, recognizing the importance of purity in certain applications, newer grades with higher purity levels have been developed. These newer grades boast purity levels of Fe2O3 in the range of 80% to 82%, offering enhanced performance and reliability for specialized applications where purity is of paramount importance.
