Iron Oxide Orange is an inorganic synthetic pigment based on hydrated iron oxide (FeOOH), produced through controlled precipitation and calcination processes. It delivers stable orange hues ranging from bright yellow-orange to deep red-orange, with consistent color performance across a wide range of applications.
As an Orange Iron Oxide Pigment, it offers strong lightfastness, alkali resistance, and thermal stability—properties that distinguish it from organic orange pigments in demanding industrial and construction environments. The product meets international pigment standards (CI Pigment Orange 78) and complies with REACH regulations, free from restricted heavy metals including lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.
We use high-quality packaging materials and professional packaging, palletizing, and film wrapping equipment.

> View MoreDeqing Demi Pigment Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional Iron Oxide Orange manufacturer and supplier, producing synthetic inorganic pigments based on hydrated iron oxide (FeOOH). Our orange series delivers stable hues from bright yellow-orange to deep red-orange, with the lightfastness, alkali resistance, and thermal stability that organic pigments cannot match in industrial and construction environments.
We offer two primary grades—960 and 2040—both conforming to CI Pigment Orange 78 and available in standard, micronized, and low heavy metal content series. Whether you need pigment for architectural coatings, concrete products, plastics, or powder coatings, our range is engineered for consistent performance and regulatory compliance.
Our orange iron oxide pigments are produced through controlled precipitation and calcination, ensuring a narrow particle size distribution that maximizes opacity and tinting strength. The table below summarizes the key specifications for our standard grades:
| Grade | Fe2O3 Content (%) | Oil Absorption (g/100g) | Residue on 325 Mesh (%) | Moisture (%) | pH Value | Density (g/cm³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 960 | ≥88 | 20-30 | ≤0.3 | ≤1.0 | 4-7 | 0.7-1.1 |
| 2040 | ≥88 | 20-30 | ≤0.3 | ≤1.0 | 4-7 | 0.7-1.1 |
Both grades exhibit irregular particle shape, with tinting strength within 98-102% of standard, ensuring batch-to-batch color consistency for large-scale projects.
Our orange pigments are formulated for a wide range of end uses, each requiring specific performance characteristics:
Our pigments meet international standards with the following verified properties:
We supply our orange pigments in three series to match your processing and regulatory needs:
Cost-effective for general construction and coating applications where standard particle size is sufficient.
Ultra-fine particle size (D50 0.2-0.3 µm) for superior dispersion, higher tinting strength, and improved gloss in premium paints and masterbatches.
Meets strict international limits for heavy metals, suitable for food-contact plastics and eco-friendly building certifications.
We also offer custom blending to achieve specific orange shades, as our color range includes full shades and reduction (1:10) options for grades like 960, 2040, and others.
Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistency. Our testing includes:
We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, documenting all relevant parameters. For specialized applications, we can perform additional tests such as thermal stability analysis or alkali resistance testing upon request.
Our pigments are packaged to protect against moisture and contamination during transit and storage. Standard options include:
We use professional palletizing and film wrapping to ensure safe delivery. For export, we comply with international shipping standards and can provide necessary documentation.

Iron Oxide Orange produces more muted, earthy tones compared to high-chroma organic pigments like quinacridone or azo orange. For applications requiring strong vibrancy, it is often blended with organic pigments. In construction, industrial coating, and outdoor durability-critical applications, Iron Oxide Orange is preferred for its longevity and cost stability.
Standard industrial-grade Iron Oxide Orange is not approved for food contact materials. For food packaging or medical device applications, grades certified under FDA 21 CFR or EU food contact material regulations must be specified and verified for compliance. Our low heavy metal series can meet these stricter limits when required.
Pre-dispersing with polycarboxylate-based dispersants followed by high-speed dispersion or bead-milling to the target fineness (typically <20 μm, Hegman 5-6) significantly improves uniformity and tinting strength performance. Our micronized grades are designed to disperse more easily, reducing milling time and energy consumption.
Store in a dry, cool, ventilated area away from moisture. Keep sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can reduce dispersibility. Under normal storage conditions, shelf life is 24 months. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 200°C, which may cause hue shift.
Yes, we supply free samples for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your application details, and we will send the appropriate grade for your testing. We also offer technical support to help optimize the pigment in your formulation.
Our portfolio also includes Iron Oxide Pigment, Products, Iron Oxide Red for applications with different operating ranges, interfaces or integration requirements.
