Iron oxide yellow is known for its bright ochre yellow, its coloring power is almost comparable to chrome yellow, relatively high density, while having a strong hiding power. It is insoluble in water and alcohol, but can dissolve in acid, fine powder particles, excellent in light resistance, can reach 7 to 8, and has good weather resistance. However, iron oxide yellow also has a number of “inherent defects”, such as large volume, viscous oil absorption, not easy to disperse and so on.
In order to overcome these “defects”, Yuxing Smith “new” presents a heavy iron oxide yellow, compared to conventional iron oxide yellow can be compared to the following data:
- The density of the product is relatively high, and the packing density is about 0.90g /ml ~ 1.05g /ml. The packing density of iron oxide yellow is about 0.5g /ml, and the packing density is nearly twice as high as that of ordinary iron oxide yellow.
- The oil absorption of high-density heavy iron oxide yellow is low, and the oil absorption is basically about 25-28g/100g, while the oil absorption of ordinary iron oxide yellow is basically about 31-35g/100g, which is nearly 20% lower than that of ordinary iron oxide yellow.
- In terms of transportation and packaging, due to the high density, the same volume can be loaded with twice the amount of products, such as the general ordinary iron oxide yellow container can hold 12 tons, and the high-density heavy iron oxide yellow can hold about 24 tons.
- Coloring strength is higher than ordinary iron oxide yellow, so coloring under the same conditions can reduce the amount of pigment used.
Yuxing “new” presents products that make life better and more comfortable, which not only promotes technological innovation, but also leads the new trend of high-quality color. In the future, Yuxing will continue to integrate environmental protection concepts into high-efficiency products, which will promote the broad development prospects of the global iron oxide industry.
