Red Oxide

Red oxide powder is most widely distributed in nature. It is the basic mineral for steel plant. Red oxide has tremendous application in building, construction, paint and many other trades. In India red oxide is mined in several regions and very good quality with high percentage of iron oxide is available in Ballary (KARNATAKA). For paint ceramic, and building materials shade and tone of red oxide is important. The best shade is of course PG Red Oxide from Iran.
