Iron oxide pigments

Abstract
Natural and synthetic iron oxide pigments are by far the most important colored pigments. Their high importance is based on the variety of stable colors ranging from yellow via orange, red and brown to black. Iron oxide yellow (α-FeOOH), iron oxide red (α-Fe2O3) and iron oxide black (Fe3O4) are the most important representatives of the iron oxide pigments. Synthetic iron oxide pigments are produced industrially on a large scale by solid-state processes, precipitation processes and by the Laux process. Main advantages of synthetic iron oxide pigments compared with natural types are their pure hue, the consistent, reproducible quality and their tinting strength. Iron oxide pigments are mainly used in construction materials, paints, coatings, and plastics, but also in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and special applications such as ceramics, magnetic coatings and toners.
