Iron oxide products are non-toxic and have the potential to replace organic pigments, so they still occupy a large pigment market in the 21st century.

    In the future, the development of iron oxide products will focus on easy dispersion, heat resistance, and various functionalities, such as iron oxide powder or paste products that meet the needs of the construction industry, as well as transparent iron oxide paste products designed for the automotive industry and wood coloring.

    At the same time, the plastic industry, coil coatings, and powder coatings require the development of heat-resistant iron oxide products, such as mica iron oxide pearl pigments and magnetic iron oxide products, which will further expand the application scope of iron oxide and increase its added value.

    While maintaining the original product quality, enterprises should also vigorously develop high-end fine iron oxide pigment chemicals such as functionality and greenization to expand the market and enhance industrial level and economic benefits. For example, focusing on developing functional iron oxide material chemicals in the electronic field to establish a dominant position in high-end product areas such as information recording and display materials. At the same time, safety airbags and brake pads, new battery specific products, magnetic ink, leather and wood coating, and water treatment chemicals in the automotive field are also key areas that need further development and application.
