About Iron Oxide Red (S110)

Iron Oxide Red (S110) is an inorganic pigment predominantly composed of ferric oxide (Fe2O3), recognized for its deep red color and excellent stability. Supplied as a fine powder, this pigment is manufactured to meet industrial standards suitable for use in manufacturing and coatings production. Typical purity levels correspond to standard pigment grades, ensuring consistent color strength and dispersibility when integrated into formulations. This product is packaged primarily in 25 kg bags, with bulk quantities also available for volume buyers. Iron Oxide Red (S110) should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to avoid moisture uptake that could affect its dispersion properties. It is incompatible with strong reducing agents and should be handled accordingly. Standard dosing rates vary by formulation but generally range from 1% to 10% pigment-to-binder ratio in paint applications.

Why Iron Oxide Red (S110) Matters

In coatings and manufacturing, achieving consistent color and long-term durability are critical challenges. Iron Oxide Red (S110) addresses these by providing a pigment that offers high stability against ultraviolet radiation and chemical exposure, which preserves aesthetic quality and functional performance over time. In concrete and construction materials, this pigment enhances visual appeal without compromising structural integrity, allowing producers to meet design specifications and regulatory quality standards more effectively. Its resistance to fading and chemical inertness reduce maintenance and replacement costs for end-users.
