Iron Oxide Pigment - Red (Fe2O3)

Grade: Grade 130 / 110 Synthetic Micronized

Brobond Synthetic Red Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) is the primary colorant for high-durability colored concrete products. Tested and proven for extreme UV exposure, it does not fade, chalk, or degrade under tropical sunshine. It possesses complete alkali resistance, preventing discoloration from the free lime in Portland cement.

Packaging & Supply: Supplied in standard 25 Kg Multi-wall Paper Bags with PE Inlay. Bulk palletized container orders and customized shipments available.
