Natural Red Iron Oxide is the most widely occurring Minerals in Earth. It is widely used in many applications due as it is economical as compared to Synthetic Oxides.
Applications :
Red Oxide is anti-corrosive and has inertness to alkali and chemicals which makes its very viable for making of paint, protective coating for steels, cement coloring, NPK Fertilizers, paving tiles.
