I-iron oxide pigment luhlobo lwe-pigment olunokusasazeka kakuhle, ukumelana nokukhanya okugqwesileyo, kunye nokumelana nemozulu. I-iron oxide pigment ikakhulu ibhekisa kwiindidi ezine ze-pigment ezinombala: i-iron oxide ebomvu, i-iron mthubi, i-iron black, kunye ne-iron brown, kunye ne-iron oxide njengento esisiseko. Phakathi kwazo, i-iron oxide ebomvu yeyona pigment iphambili (emalunga nama-50%iipigmenti ze-iron oxide), kunye ne-mica iron oxide esetyenziswa njenge-anti rust pigment kunye ne-magnetic iron oxide esetyenziswa njengezinto zokurekhoda ze-magnetic nazo ziyinxalenye yolu didi lweiipigmenti ze-iron oxideI-iron oxide yeyona pigment yesibini ngobukhulu emva kwe-titanium dioxide kwaye ikwayeyona pigment inkulu kakhulu enemibala engangcolisiyo. Ngaphezulu kwe-70% yazo zonke iipigment ze-iron oxide ezisetyenzisiweyo zilungiswa ngeendlela zokwenziwa kweekhemikhali, ezaziwa ngokuba yi-synthetic iron oxide. I-synthetic iron oxide isetyenziswa kakhulu kwizixhobo zokwakha, kwiingubo, kwiiplastiki, kwii-elektroniki, kwicuba, kumayeza, kwirabha, kwiiseramikhi, kwii-inki, kwizixhobo zemagnethi, ekwenzeni iphepha, nakwezinye iindawo ngenxa yobunyulu bayo obuphezulu bokwenziwa, ubungakanani obufanayo beentwana, i-chromatography ebanzi, imibala emininzi, ixabiso eliphantsi, kunye neempawu ezingezizo iityhefu, kunye neempawu zombala kunye nokusetyenziswa ezibalaseleyo, kunye neempawu zokufunxa i-UV.
