Iron Oxide Pigment Used in Rubber and Plastic

The application of iron oxide pigments in the field of plastics and rubber has significant roles and advantages, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The coloring effect

As an inorganic color pigment, iron oxide pigment has the characteristics of bright color, stability and not easy to fade. In plastic and rubber products, iron oxide pigments can give products a rich color choice, such as red, yellow, green, etc., to meet the color needs of different fields. This long-lasting color stability allows the product to maintain a vivid appearance for a long time during use, improving the aesthetics and market competitiveness of the product.

2. Enhancement and protection

In rubber products, iron oxide pigments can not only increase the color of the product, but also play a role in strengthening and protecting. For example, iron oxide pigments that do not contain heavy metal ions such as copper and manganese can be used in high-end products such as aviation tires to prevent the aging of rubber. At the same time, iron oxide pigments interact with the molecular structure of rubber materials, which can improve the hardness and strength of rubber, making it more durable. In plastics, iron oxide pigments can also enhance the mechanical properties and weather resistance of plastics, and improve the service life of products.

3. Improvement of wear resistance

Due to its high hardness, iron oxide pigments can effectively reduce the wear and tear of rubber and plastic materials. In the case of friction and abrasion, such as tires, shoe soles, etc., products with iron oxide pigments can show better wear resistance, thereby extending the service life of the product.

4. Environmental protection and safety

Iron oxide pigment is a non-toxic, environmentally friendly pigment that will not cause harm to human health. In the production and use of plastic and rubber products, the use of iron oxide pigments can ensure the safety and environmental protection of the products. Especially in areas where high safety is required, such as food packaging, iron oxide pigments are an ideal pigment choice.

5. The application is extensive

Iron oxide pigments are used in a wide range of applications in plastics and rubber. In terms of plastics, it can be used as a colorant and filler in a variety of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc., and is used to manufacture plastic flooring, films, pipes, containers and other products. In terms of rubber, iron oxide pigments are widely used in tires, seals, hoses and other products, giving products bright colors and excellent performance.

6. Precautions

Although iron oxide pigments have many advantages in the field of plastics and rubber, there are some issues that need to be paid attention to during use. For example, when selecting iron oxide pigments, their compatibility and dispersion with the substrate need to be considered to ensure the coloring effect and performance of the product. In addition, care needs to be taken to control the amount of pigments added to avoid adversely affecting the performance of the product.

To sum up, the application of iron oxide pigments in the field of plastics and rubber has important roles and advantages. By making reasonable use of the characteristics of iron oxide pigments, plastic and rubber products with bright colors, excellent performance, environmental protection and safety can be produced to meet the needs of different fields.
