Highly used pigments in all types of applications due to their chemical and physical characteristics:

KEY BENEFITS AND ATTRIBUTES OF IRON OXIDES
Insoluble in water and organic solvents. Completely inert in organic and inorganic binders (cement, ceramic compounds, etc.). Excellent light and weather fastness. Good alkali resistance. Excellent hiding strength. Low cost.	Reds:  Highly heat resistant (1,470ºF/800ºC)  used in all polymers Blacks and Yellows:  Less resistant (320ºF/160ºC)  Restricted to PVC & LDPE.

MAIN FIELDS OF APPLICATION OF IRON OXIDES
Construction Material  Plastics and Rubber  Paints and coatings	Cosmetics, animal feed, cigarette filters, pharmaceutical industry ...

Manufacturing pigments with the same shade but different particle size distribution and grinding systems results in a wide range of products that are easy to use in most fields of application.

Type	COLOUR RANGE	DESCRIPTION	MAIN FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Series 5000  Micronised grade **	Yellows, Reds.	Micronized types, allow an optimal dispersion.	Indicated for high concentrated pastes, paints, plastics, cosmetics.
Series 4000  High standard grade	Yellows, Reds, Blacks	Especial reologhical properties due to the homogeneous distribution of the particular size.	Plastics, paints, construction, papers, rubbers, inks, artists’ colours, flooring, etc.
Series 2000  Standard grade	Yellows, Reds, Blacks	Well balanced cost/technical requirements types in order to satisfy the more functional applications.	Cements, papers, paints, plastics, rubbers, flooring, etc.

** Total absence of oversized particles, which lend them excellent dispersion properties and colour consistency. Especially suitable for fast and economical production of paints and masterbatch.
