IRON OXIDE BASED PIGMENT Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C09C1/24 C01G49/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in making paint, construction and ceramic materials, glass, enamel, plastic and rubber. The iron oxide based pigment contains two fractions of iron (III) oxide. The first fraction has a plastic structure with particle size not smaller than 20 mcm. The second fraction consists of particles of different shapes with size not bigger than 20 mcm. The said components of the pigment are in the following ratio in wt %: iron (III) oxide of the first fraction with plastic structure 3-97, iron (III) oxide of the second fraction with particles of different shapes 97-3.

EFFECT: invention enables to obtain a grey coloured pigment with metallic lustre to red, increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the paint coatings, reduces opaqueness and oil absorption.
