- Iron oxides yield
pigments (see Iron oxide pigments) that are widely used in the cosmetic
field. They are considered to be nontoxic, moisture resistant, and
nonbleeding. Iron oxides graded safe for cosmetic use are produced
synthetically in order to avoid the inclusion of ferrous or ferric
oxides, and impurities normally found in naturally occurring iron
oxides. Some of these oxides are used in ceramic applications,
particularly in glazing. Iron oxides, along with oxides of other metals,
provide the colours in some glazes after being fired at a high
temperature.
- Iron(II) oxide (ferrous
oxide, FeO, also known as wüstite in its mineral form): The
black-coloured powder in particular can cause explosions as it readily
ignites. Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide (Fe2O3): known in its natural
state as rouge or hematite (also 'haematite'), but also purified for use
as a coating in magnetic audio and computer media. In a dry or alkaline
environment it can cause passivation and inhibits rust. It is also a
component of rust. Iron(II,III) oxide or ferrous ferric oxide (Fe3O4):
better known as the black-coloured mineral magnetite or lodestone also
seen on Mars. Also a main source of iron, magnetite is an iron ore. This
form of iron oxide tends to occur when iron corrodes underwater, and so
is often found inside tanks or below the waterline of ships.
- Iron oxides are
interesting due to their catalytic, magnetic, and semiconducting
properties, and because they are produced during corrosion. Their
applications Include, e.g., usage as pigments, catalysts in styrene
synthesis,1 and as a material for high-density magnetic storage.
- Demand in the US for
color pigments, including inorganic, organic and specialty types, is
forecast to increase 4.4 percent per year to $3.8 billion in 2011,
driven by a shift toward more expensive high-performance organic
pigments and specialty types. Steady increases in large pigment markets
such as paints and coatings will support volume growth. Trade continues
to have a large impact on the US pigment industry (imports and exports
account for about 25 percent of demand and production value,
respectively). Imports mostly consist of lowerend pigments while
higher-quality products are exported.
- In 2003, the world
market value for colored pigments (inorganic and organic) was $8.33
billion—about $1.88 billion for inorganic color pigments and $6.45
billion for organic pigments, of which high-performance organic pigments
accounted for $0.9 billion.
- Western Europe is the
largest regional market for iron oxide pigments, followed by North
America,China accounts for the largest share of world production ,
Germany produced over 70% of Western Europe’s supply or about 18% of
global supply in 2000 , India is The largest producer of natural iron
oxide pigments. Western Europe is a net exporter, while other regions
are net importers.
- Natural Iron
Oxide Pigments were produced in at least 10 countries in 2012
- Consumption
of pigment
minerals were expanding significantly for
certain emerging markets, such as Latin America and Asia,
especially China
- Growth in the
Iron Oxide Pigment market is expected to continue to increase,
mostly because Iron Oxide Pigment’s largest end market,
construction, is increasing in China, Latin America, and the
United States
