RED IRON OXIDE PIGMENTS
General Paints and Coatings Applications
PENNIMAN PROCESS
Shibarox® Pigment Properties
- Nearly spherical particles
- Very low proportion of pigment agglomerates due to micronization
- Predominant particle size between 0.1 μm and 0.7 μm
Application Properties
- Easy dispersibility
- High tinting strength
- Final systems usually develop slight pseudoplastic flow behavior
- High stability against color change during high energy dispersion processing
COPPERAS PROCESS
Shibarox® Pigment Properties
- Nearly spherical particles
- Regular milled
- Stable against color change during heat exposure to minimum 600 °C (1100 °F)
Application Properties
- Easy dispersibility
- High chromaticity C* combined with red value a* and yellow value b*
- Final systems develop slight pseudoplastic flow behavior
- Option to formulate at high loadings
- High stability against color change during high energy dispersion processing
SPECIAL PROCESS
Shibarox® Pigment Properties
