Red Iron Oxide for Ceramic Coloring

High-performance inorganic pigment with excellent color stability, weather resistance, and broad application range.

The Heart of the Ceramic Kiln

Deqing Demi Pigment Technology Co., Ltd. understands the ancient and modern art of ceramic coloring. We recognize that in ceramic production, the pigment is a chemical reactant as much as a colorant. Our ceramic red series is manufactured with low carbon and sulfur levels to prevent glaze defects like pinholing. We provide the "Pyrometric Reliability" that helps industrial tile makers and studio potters achieve repeatable, vibrant reds and earthy tones.

Ceramic Red Usage Areas

  • Floor and Wall Tiles: Mass coloration for "Through-Body" porcelain.
  • Sanitary Ware: Warm, stable tones for bathroom ceramic fixtures.
  • Pottery Glazes: Essential for producing "Tomato Red" and "Iron Lustre" glazes.
  • Engobes & Slips: Fine-particle red for surface decoration and coating.

Core Advantages

  • High-Temperature Stability: Maintains its red chroma even at high vitrification temps.
  • Low Impurity: Reduced carbon and sulfur levels prevent glaze bubbling.
  • Excellent Solubility: Dissolves evenly in molten glaze frits for a smooth finish.
  • Predictable Reactivity: Consistent behavior in both oxidation and reduction firing.
  • Q: Will this red oxide turn black in my kiln?

    A: In an oxidizing atmosphere, it stays red. In a heavy reduction atmosphere, it can transition to Magnetite (Fe3​O4​), producing black or celadon tones.

  • Q: Is it suitable for underglaze painting?

    A: Yes, its micronized particle size allows for smooth brushability and sharp detail.

Ceramic Specialty Services

We offer "Glaze Compatibility Audits," testing our red oxide in your specific frit formula to ensure zero surface defects.

Custom Micronization: We can provide "Nano-Red" oxides for ultra-fine screen printing on porcelain surfaces.

The Science of Ferric Dissolution

In ceramic glazes, Red Iron Oxide acts through "Molecular Dispersion." During the melting phase, the Fe2​O3​ particles are attacked by the glaze flux (like Lead or Boron). The science lies in the "Saturation Limit"—if the iron is fully dissolved, you get a transparent colored glaze; if it remains suspended as tiny crystals, you get an opaque, crystalline red. Our ceramic grade is engineered with a specific surface area to control this dissolution rate, ensuring a consistent texture and hue.
