Iron Oxide Black Pigment

Micronized iron oxide black pigment with exceptional tinting strength, optimized for coatings, plastics, concrete and inks. Available in multiple pack sizes with technical support from [BRAND].

Key Benefits

Product Overview

Iron Oxide Black (Mars Black) — a micronized inorganic pigment engineered for formulators requiring deep black, high opacity and reliable weather resistance. Suitable for solvent- and water-based coatings, plastics & masterbatch, concrete pigmentation and printing inks.

Applications

How to Use / Dispersion Guidelines

For best results: pre-wet pigment in the carrier, use high-shear or bead milling for final dispersion. Typical loading ranges: 0.5–3.0% wt in coatings and inks; 1–4% wt in plastics (depending on shade).

  1. Pre-disperse 5–10% in resin or carrier at low speed.
  2. Use high-shear mixing (bead mill or disperser) to achieve target Hegman/particle distribution.
  3. Adjust surfactant or dispersant to reduce viscosity spike; test in small batches.

FAQ

What is the recommended dispersion method for iron oxide black in acrylic paint?

Pre-wet then high-shear disperse (bead mill) to Hegman target; use recommended dispersant at 0.5–2.0% wt.

How does micronized iron oxide black compare to standard grades in tinting strength?

Micronized grades generally show higher tinting strength and faster opacity development — validate with small formulation trials and shade charts.

Is this iron oxide suitable for cosmetic use?

Some inorganic blacks are suitable; contact our tech team for INCI, purity, and batch-specific testing certificates.

Can I get a sample and lab support?

Yes — request a sample above and we offer small-scale lab dispersion testing for a fee or free sample trials where applicable.
