IRON OXIDE YELLOW
Technical grade
Yellow Iron oxide also known as Pigment yellow 42 is yellow powder in the form of an alkaline oxide with comparatively stable chemical properties. It is slightly soluble in acids but completely dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid. Iron oxide is used in coating, printing ink and paint, and also as a coloring agent for building material, rubber and paper-making. It widely used due to its bright and pure colour, good weather proofing and high opacity. It is manufactured by the precipitation of ferric oxide hydroxide followed by purification through washing, drying and milling.
Uses for Iron Oxide Yellow:
- Used as yellow pigment (CI pigment 42:77492).
- A pigment in ceramics to produce glazes.
- Coating, paint, scagliola, tinting of the wall, floor.
- Pigment of watercolour and grease-paint.
- Tinting of the leather-colorant.
Yellow iron oxide is also used in paints, enamels, Porcelain Enamels, concrete colorants, plastics, rubber, and paper where permanent yellow is required. It has excellent hiding power, absorbs ultraviolet light, is compatible with a broad range of vehicles, disperses well in aqueous and solvent systems, does not contain heavy metals.
