Composition and Properties of Limonite or Yellow Iron Oxide<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Research shows that this mineral substance often includes a significant amount of mineral iron oxides such as hematite, goethite, akaganeite, lepidocrocite. Limonite is a secondary substance, derived from the weathering of hematite, pyrite and magnetite and other substances containing iron. This iron ore is highly resistant in various weather conditions.<\/p>\n

This mineral pigment, which is found in light yellow, dark yellow and orange colors, is resistant to light and has a high covering capacity. It contains a number of water molecules in its molecular structure and has moisture saturation of less than 1. The solubility of Limonite in water is less than 0.3%. Reportedly, the solution of this pigment has a pH. ranging between 3 to 7 and its oil absorption ranges between 25 to 35 in 100 grams of this substance. Thermal operations are performed on this substance in order to eliminate or decrease water molecules in its molecular structure and to enhance the quality of powder and paint.<\/p>\n

A diverse spectrum of limonite pigments are provided in lemon ochre, yellow ochre, orange ochre and brown ochre. By combining these colors together and with other pigments we can produce an unlimited number of other colors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
