Packaging and shipping
Iron oxide black is mainly composed of ferrous oxide trioxide and is a high-performance black inorganic pigment and functional material. It not only possesses the excellent chemical stability, light and weather resistance, non-toxicity and environmental friendliness of the iron oxide series pigments, but also demonstrates outstanding coloring power and blackness, excellent ultraviolet absorption ability, unique magnetism (ferromagnetism), and certain conductivity in the fields of high-end building materials, functional coatings, plastic coloring, magnetic materials, and special functional fillers. We are committed to providing stable quality and professional technical support to meet customers’ multi-dimensional needs ranging from basic coloring to advanced functional applications.




Product Description
Anhui Eapearl Chemical Co., Ltd.As a professional supplier of inorganic pigments and functional materials, relying on a profound understanding of the pigment industry chain and a stable resource network, we provide customers with high-performance and multi-specification iron oxide black product series and solutions. Iron oxide black is mainly composed of ferrous oxide trioxide and is a high-performance black inorganic pigment and functional material. It not only possesses the excellent chemical stability, light and weather resistance, non-toxicity and environmental friendliness of the iron oxide series pigments, but also demonstrates outstanding value in high-end building materials, functional coatings, plastic coloring, magnetic materials and special functional fillers. We are committed to providing stable quality and professional technical support to meet customers’ multi-dimensional needs ranging from basic coloring to advanced functional applications.
The value of iron oxide black goes beyond traditional coloring. It is a “smart” material that combines coloring, shielding, and functionality:
Outstanding coloring and shielding performance: Extremely high coloring power and blackness, with strong covering ability. It can efficiently absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays, providing excellent anti-aging protection for the substrate, with superior performance compared to carbon black and being more environmentally friendly in some applications.
Unique ferromagnetic properties and functionalization potential: It is one of the few inorganic pigments with significant ferromagnetic properties, making it a core raw material for preparing magnetic materials, electromagnetic wave absorption materials, and magnetic fluids.
Excellent durability and chemical stability: It inherits the excellent light resistance, weather resistance, and alkali resistance of the iron oxide pigment family. The color remains stable and lasts for a long time in outdoor and harsh chemical environments. It has good high-temperature resistance.
Safety and environmental friendliness: Non-toxic and harmless, in compliance with environmental regulations. Compared to certain organic black pigments or carbon black, it has advantages in dispersion, purity, and heavy metal control.
