Producers of iron oxide and chromium oxide pigments can be found under members (full description).Īdditional technical, ecological and legislative aspects of iron oxide and chromium oxide pigments can be found in the brochures "Safe handling of pigments", "Ceramic decorating materials" and "Colourants for food contact plastics".Mad Micas is committed to holding ourselves and our suppliers to the highest ethical standards. ![]() ![]() In addition chromium oxides are used due their high hardness as a grinding and polishing material and in break linings. ![]() High purity iron oxide pigments are used for food colouration, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.

Materials for civil construction are coloured to achieve soil like appearance. The field of application of iron- and chromium oxide pigments is very wide. The natural occurrence is in basalt rocks.īoth iron oxide pigments and chromium green pigments produced by VdMi members are ecologically and physiologically safe. Synthetic iron oxides show in relation to natural products higher colour strength, high reproducibility of the colour shade and higher chemical purity and therefore dominate the market.Ĭhromium oxide green pigments are based on trivalent Chromium and are physically and chemically extremely resistant. Iron oxides are the oldest known pigments and were used as natural pigments already in the stone ages. They are offered in the colours red, yellow and black with remarkable high light resistance and chemical stability. The most widely used coloured pigments worldwide are iron oxide pigments. ![]()
