Weather-resistant inorganic blue pigment, produced for consistent batches, excellent alkali resistance and low VOC formulation support.
Typical dosage: 3–8% by weight of pigment-to-binder solids. Use dispersing agents recommended for inorganic pigments; high-speed dispersion improves tinting strength and reduces specking.
Recommended dosage range: 1.0–5.0% by weight of dry mix. Use pre-dispersed masterbatch for homogeneity. Our pigment demonstrates strong alkali resistance and long-term color stability when embedded in cementitious matrix.
Milled to target D50 for optimum hiding and flow. Monitor particle size to balance gloss and matting effects.
A regional paver manufacturer used our Iron Oxide Blue at 2.2% w/w in a dry-mix trial. After 24 months of outdoor exposure, color retention measured via ΔE showed minimal fading compared with a phthalo-based control.

Iron oxide blue is an inorganic pigment notable for weather and alkali resistance. Compared to phthalocyanine blue, it often has lower tinting strength but superior long-term outdoor stability and better performance in alkaline environments like concrete.
We offer D50 ranges from ~0.8 μm to 3.0 μm. Finer particles usually improve tinting strength and dispersion; coarser particles may increase opacity/hiding and affect gloss.
Typical starting point: 3% pigment (by weight of total solids) ≈ 600 g. Use our dosage calculator (below) for exact conversions.
