Frequently Asked Questions

What is Iron Oxide Red 130 commonly used for?

Iron Oxide Red 130 is used in paints and coatings (architectural & industrial), colored concrete and paving, plastics masterbatches, and printing inks where durable red color and excellent lightfastness are required.

Is Iron Oxide Red 130 stable in exterior applications?

Yes — it offers excellent weather and lightfastness compared with many organic reds, making it suitable for long-term exterior exposure when properly formulated.

Can this pigment be used in both waterborne and solventborne systems?

Yes. Iron Oxide Red 130 is compatible with a wide range of binders. However, final compatibility can depend on your specific formulation; we recommend trial batches and our technical support can help optimize dispersion and loading levels.
