Additionally, its very high light fastness and weather fastness, as well as being insoluble in water, make it a very good anti-rust and UV blocking pigment. Selective Minerals Yellow Iron Oxides are among the most widely produced pigments in the world. Their excellent price-performance ratio allows them to be used as pigments in a wide range of products including paints, coatings, construction, plastics, rubber and ceramic products. Our pigments are characterized by high chemical and physical product features.

What is Yellow Iron Oxide?

Yellow Iron Oxide is an inorganic pigment offered in both natural and synthetic forms and is considered bright and stable. Iron oxide pigments are available in Red, Yellow, Orange, and Black shades and are some of the most commonly used pigments in the world. Because of the Iron Oxides 2% to -4% annual growth, this pigment is highly important in construction, paints, coatings, ceramics, plastics, inks, rubber, cosmetics, and other industrial uses. Yellow Iron Oxide is used in many different applications because of its high tinting strength, outdoor and indoor weather fastness, and resistance to ultraviolet light. Many Yellow Iron Oxides manufacturers of India are producing high-quality pigments to cater to the increasing need of industries in India.

Key Features of Yellow Iron Oxide

• Excellent Physical and Chemical Stability: Yellow Iron Oxide has great structural and functional integrity. This integrity allows it to be ideally suited for use in various industries.
• Non-Toxic & Environment-Friendly: The safe, inorganic pigment does not contain chemicals that harm humans and people can use it within coatings, plastics, ceramics or any other application where contact with humans is possible.
• High Tinting Strength: Enables the paints to provide high-strength and energetic colors even at low dosage levels with ease.
• Superior Covering Power: Provides excellent hiding and helps give paints, tiles, pavers and molded products an even, smooth and consistent finish.
• Soft & Uniform Color Tone: It has a natural yellow color, the color is highly uniform in all batches.
• High Alkali Resistance: Performs well in cement-based products such as concrete blocks, concrete tiles, concrete pipes, and other construction materials in alkaline environments.
• Stable Against Weak & Dilute Acids: Color and chemical structure are stable when exposed to weak acidic solutions stable against dilute acids within.
• Weather Fastness: Ultraviolet light, heat, or moisture or other environmental media do not affect this pigment. This makes it durable for both indoor use and outdoor use.
• Anti-rust & UV protective properties: Used as a functional pigment in industrial coatings, primers and metal surface treatments to impart corrosion and UV protection functionality.

Manufacturing Process of Yellow Iron Oxide

• Laux Process: The aniline process produces Black Iron Oxide and Yellow Iron Oxide as by-products, the latter of which is additionally calcined to produce Red Iron Oxide.
• Calcination Process: Yellow Iron Oxide or Red Iron Oxide comes from oxidation and dehydration of Black Iron Oxide. Black Iron Oxide needs careful processing to produce brown pigments.
• Penniman Process: Uses oxygen and catalysts for oxidizing metallic iron into Iron Oxide, producing high-quality red, black and some yellow pigments.
• Precipitation Process: Iron salts are treated with caustic soda in oxygen-rich conditions. The eventual color shade depends on reaction pH, temperature, purity and velocity. It is the most complex, but yields the highest quality pigments.
