Product Description
Red Oxide
Red oxide powder is most widely occurring in nature. It is basic mineral for steel plant. Red oxide has tremendous application in building, construction, paint and many other industries. In India, good quality with high percentage of iron oxide is available in several regions. For paint, Ceramic and building materials shade and tone of Red oxide is important. The best shade is of course PG Red Oxide from Iran.
Red oxide is known for its corrosion protection, inertness to alkali and chemicals. Durability of paint made with Red Oxide is very well known.

FAQs of Red Oxide:
Q: How is Red Oxide Powder typically used in industrial applications?
A: Red Oxide is widely used as a pigment in manufacturing anti-corrosive paints, colored bricks, and enamel paints. It provides rust resistance to metals and imparts a bright red color to construction materials.
Q: What benefits does Red Oxide offer in anti-corrosive paint formulations?
A: Red Oxide provides effective protection against corrosion due to its high Fe2O3 purity and stability. It forms a protective barrier on metal surfaces, extending the lifespan of painted structures and reducing maintenance costs.
Q: When should Red Oxide Powder be applied during the painting process?
A: For optimal protection, Red Oxide should be thoroughly mixed into the paint base before application. It is commonly used as a primer layer on metal surfaces to prevent rust before adding decorative coats.
Q: Where should Red Oxide Powder be stored to ensure product stability?
A: Red Oxide Powder should be stored at room temperature in a dry, sealed container, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to preserve its quality and effectiveness throughout its 2-year shelf life.
Q: What is the recommended process for adding Red Oxide to bricks or paints?
A: For brick or paint manufacturing, Red Oxide Powder should be blended completely into the mix to ensure even coloration and uniform anti-corrosive properties. Consistent mixing is key to achieving the best results.
Q: Is Red Oxide Powder safe to handle during product preparation?
A: Yes, Red Oxide is non-poisonous and safe for routine handling under standard industrial safety protocols. However, using protective gear such as gloves and masks is recommended when working with any fine powders.
