Pigments
Iron oxides and hydroxides processed through rigorous quality control procedures, intended for a wide range of applications across various industrial segments.
Benefits: Non-toxic product, high tinting strength, weather resistance, excellent dispersibility, high covering power, thermal stability and excellent cost-effectiveness.
For the foundry sector, it provides increased mold strength and reduced porosity, improving the finish of cast parts.
