Properties and Application

Transparent iron oxides have the same fastness properties as opaque iron oxide pig­ments, but much higher color strength and significantly higher color purity. Table 5.19 summarizes the properties of selected transparent iron oxide pigments [5.192].

shaped pigment particles are much more transparent than those produced by the combustion of iron pentacarbonyl, but are also much harder to disperse. The use of fully dispersed pigment preparations can be a good alternative.
