Iron Oxide Brown

Iron Oxide Brown is a pigment commonly used in a variety of industries, particularly in paints, coatings, and art materials. It is a type of iron oxide pigment, which is a natural earth pigment made from iron ore. The brown color is a result of the oxidation of iron, giving it a rich, earthy tone.

2. Uses:
   • Paints and Coatings: Often used in industrial and decorative paints, Iron Oxide Brown provides a durable, weather-resistant color.
   • Art Materials: It is a common pigment in artists’ oil paints, watercolors, and acrylics, giving a warm, natural brown tone.
   • Construction: Sometimes used in colored concrete, ceramics, and other building materials for its stable, non-toxic color.
3. Properties:
   • Lightfastness: Iron Oxide Brown is known for its excellent lightfastness, meaning it doesn’t fade easily when exposed to sunlight.
   • Non-toxic: It is considered safe and non-toxic, which is why it’s widely used in both art and industrial applications.
4. Shades: Depending on the specific blend or formulation, Iron Oxide Brown can vary from a reddish-brown to a more yellowish or deeper brown hue.
