Red Oxide S130

Whatsapp Order

Red Oxide S130 is a high-purity synthetic iron oxide pigment that offers a deep red hue with excellent opacity, dispersibility, and weather resistance. It is widely used in the coatings, construction, plastics, rubber, ceramic, and ink industries for its color stability, non-toxicity, and resistance to UV light and chemicals. Red Oxide S130 is finely milled for consistent performance and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its chemical inertness and thermal stability make it ideal for demanding environments requiring long-lasting coloration.

Description

Red Oxide S130

Primary Uses

Paints & Coatings
Used in anticorrosive metal primers for steel structures, tanks, machinery, and marine applications.

Incorporated into protective and industrial coatings requiring long-term UV and weather resistance.

Employed in architectural paints for residential, commercial, and industrial surfaces.

Suitable for powder coatings and coil coatings with excellent pigment dispersion and heat resistance.

Construction Materials
Added to concrete, cement, tiles, pavers, and plasters for permanent coloration.

Used in roofing tiles, decorative concrete, and precast elements for long-term UV and weather durability.

Provides consistent red color in grouts, stucco, and architectural facades.

Plastics Industry
Used to color PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, and other thermoplastics.

Suitable for pipe fittings, containers, and profiles where colorfastness and heat resistance are needed.

Ceramics & Refractories
Employed in ceramic glazes, terracotta products, and roof tiles for rich red coloration.

Maintains stability and color consistency at high kiln firing temperatures.

Printing Inks
Used in flexographic, screen, and offset printing inks for bold and durable red coloration on paper, textiles, and plastics.

 

Secondary Uses

Rubber Compounding
Applied in rubber seals, soles, and molded parts where UV- and weather-resistant red color is required.

Art & Decorative Supplies
Used in oil paints, pastels, and acrylics for a natural earth-red tone.

Popular in restoration and heritage conservation projects for historically accurate pigment use.

Paper Manufacturing
Used in tinted and decorative papers, boards, and packaging where a red hue is desired.

Cosmetics (if cosmetic-grade)
When refined to cosmetic grade, used in lipsticks, blushes, and eye shadows as an FDA/EFSA-approved iron oxide pigment. (Note: S130 in industrial grade is not cosmetic-certified.)

Education & R&D
Utilized in laboratories and training facilities for pigment research, dispersion testing, and formulation development.
