Ferric oxide Usage
Pigments and colorants – These are inexpensive, non-toxic pigments that provide a wide range of colors, from yellow, red, brown, to black. They are used in coatings, paints, inks, plastics, rubber, cement, and ceramics, imparting long-lasting, vibrant colors.
Magnetic materials – These are key raw materials for the production of magnetic materials. They are used in the manufacture of magnetic tapes, computer hard drives, and magnetic recording media.
Polishing agents – These are used as precision polishes for polishing jewelry, optical lenses, and metal surfaces.
Catalysts – These are used as catalysts or catalyst supports in certain chemical reactions, such as ammonia synthesis and desulfurization processes.
Pharmaceutical and food – These can be used as colorants in pharmaceutical tablets and the food industry, but usage is strictly limited.
