About Yellow Iron Oxide 920

Yellow Iron Oxide 920 is a synthetic inorganic pigment primarily composed of hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3·H2O), presenting as a stable yellow powder. It is designed for industrial clients requiring consistent pigmentation performance in manufacturing processes. The pigment typically contains about 70-75% iron oxide content, ensuring reliable color strength and dispersion qualities. Supplied in 25 kg bags, with bulk packaging options available upon request, the pigment is commonly stored under cool, dry, and well-ventilated conditions to maintain stability and prevent caking. It is essential to avoid exposure to strong acids during handling, as these can degrade pigment quality. Typical dosing in cement coloring ranges from 1% to 3% by weight to achieve desired coloration intensities.

Why Yellow Iron Oxide 920 Matters

In construction and industrial manufacturing, achieving consistent and durable color is critical for product quality and customer satisfaction. Yellow Iron Oxide 920 addresses this by providing stable pigmentation that resists fading and chemical reaction, thus preserving the aesthetic and functional integrity of coated surfaces and concrete structures. The pigment’s robust chemical inertness minimizes interactions with binding agents, which prevents discoloration and ensures long-term performance in exposed environments such as exterior concrete and decorative coatings. This reliability allows formulators to predict outcomes accurately and maintain production efficiency.

Applications
