Hematite
Description
Hematite (CAS 1317-60-8 ) is a naturally occurring iron oxide mineral commercially recognized as oligiste in certain European markets. It functions as a red-brown inorganic pigment and a corrosion-inhibiting agent across construction and industrial coatings. In protective coatings and primers, this mineral provides passive corrosion inhibition, making it a preferred pigment in heavy-duty industrial and marine paint systems. The construction industry incorporates it into concrete and cement products. These paving products deliver durable red-to-brown coloration that resists UV degradation and weathering. In the pulp and paper sector, it is used as a filler and colorant where inorganic mineral stability is required for the final product. Mining and metallurgical operations source this material as a dense medium in gravity separation processes. It also serves as a primary iron ore feedstock for downstream smelting and various mineral processing applications globally. The product is supplied as a fine powder, with particle size and surface area specifications varying by application grade. Standard commercial grades include technical-grade pigment powder and natural ore concentrate for industrial use. Iron oxide content is typically specified by buyers for both pigment and metallurgical use to ensure performance. Synthetic iron oxide variants are available where tighter color consistency and purity are required for specific formulations. Contact us for supply of Hematite Request Quote
